Today we meditate on Exodus 12:1-14

The Passover

Pharaoh's heart was like iron
hammered to a blade,
sharpened to a fine edge,
daring a challenge.
But You, You did not give up on us.
When the chains tightened
and the whips cracked,
You pressed in.
"Let my people go"

Holy is the LORD!
How great and real and strong is He.
His love is like fire,
His heart like rushing water.
Tyrants have no sway over Him.
The gods of Egypt could not resist,
cast from thrones of bone
back into uncreation
as the Lord of Life called:
"Let my people go"

I will bring you out of a land of Death
and back into my embrace.
You have not been forgotten.
I am coming for you.
And I will send you my Son,
to redeem you,
to release you,
to ransom you.
The lion will be overthrown
by the Life of the Lamb,
poured out for you.
By His Blood you will live.
And I myself will stand in the gap for you,
to break the fangs of Death.
Pharaoh will know that I Am the LORD,
and these are my people.

Hosanna to the LORD of all the earth!
He has not forgotten us,
but stepped in to save!
Hosanna to the Lamb, our Saviour!
By his Blood we have been saved
from the spectre of Death!
Hosanna to the Holy Spirit!
Who brings Life into dead nations,
who brings freedom to slaves.

Let us remember the One
who has saved us,
who brought us out
of the land of Egypt.
