Taking Comfort In A Shown Glory, Pt. II
by Michael Doyle

Pharaoh and Moses debated Hebrew slavery
And the letting go of this people's mastery.
The first offer was religious observation,
So long as the Hebrews didn't leave the nation.

It's like this today to live a Christian life.
Window dressing is okay; commitment causes strife.
We stay in the pressure point of living enslaved
To life's traps that should have us enraged.

We Christians should live our ways fully 
Escaped from society's bondage and living free.
The second stopping point is how much to concede,
God wants everything in your life to be freed.

Every single habit should be freely given,
And walking holy, every sin will be forgiven.
We need to go the distance, reaching for the stars,
This is what it takes to be who we truly are.

The third obstacle is against wanting to share.
The Enemy will tell us that it isn't playing fair.
Though we seek to live life through His commands,
We aren't to take anyone with us to the promised lands.

We are commissioned to go out and evangelize,
Presenting the truth for everyone else's eyes.
All the obstacles are the ones everyone will embrace,
Until we are ready to break from each stuck place.

Like Moses and the Hebrews marching through the Red Sea,
We must push on to reach the end of our journey.
Exodus tells the story of the Hebrews exiting out,
Egypt is left for forty years of wandering doubt.

We live our lives chasing more circles of the same.
But a straight line from A to B worships God's holy name.
We stumble around mountains until we hear the Lord call,
And struggle against the productivity of living by the law.

This isn't a thing of God asserting undue control,
But of God's people doing good for their souls.
Living in freedom redeemed by God and touched by grace,
Isn't it time that we take our rightful place?

God's rules are meant to provide us with moral clarity.
They provide the path of increase and productivity.
We live our best by living within God's boundary.
It is by doing this that we establish our living legacy.

With our eyes set on honoring God, we become our best.
Inspired by His words, we are sure to pass every test.
Waking this world for God's glory is awesomely impactful.
Every step taken is nothing short of living the wonderful.

Toward the end of the journey of this part of the story,
Moses asked that God directly show the truth of His glory.
Toward the end of his encounter, Moses believed in more,
Asking to receive, he stood before eternity's door.

We, like Moses, find ourselves from glory to glory,
In the fullest harmony that is our Creator's story.
Resolute in the peace that brings joy and delight,
We, believers, know we are here within God's light.

Putting aside the ways of sin and destruction, 
Like Moses, we have an appetite for godly construction.
God is all around us; it makes Him hard to see.
This gives us the perspective of all that is to be.

The presence of God is manifested in its cultivation,
So it was at the beginning of the Hebrew nation. 
Christianity is found best in its essential essence,
This is the meaning and truth of God's living presence.
