Moses’ Rod

 

He was large and in charge

Or, so Pharaoh thought,

But Moses had a rod

That made him quite distraught.

  

There was none like Pharaoh

In the land of Egypt

But a rod blocked his way

And finally, he had to quit.

That rod in God’s hand

Was much too big for Pharaoh

And the Red Sea took his life

When it covered up the road.

The Israelites passed through

But the waters hurried back

And poor Pharaoh and his men

Drowned in the Red Sea trap.
