Scene 1
Listen to me, baby girl, I know that youre upset
Come over here to Daddy, baby, let me wipe your eyes
What Im about to tell you, Rachel, you must not forget
So listen very closely and Ill give you a surprise
Your daddy and your uncles have been busy making bricks
And they dont pay us anything- just blood, sweat and tears
If you came to where I work, youd see the pyramids
Our people have been building those for 400 years
Remember when I introduced you to Mr. Aaron?
The one who pinched your cheeks and said you had a nice dress
Well him and Mr. Moses have been talking to the Pharaoh
Because the God of Abraham is gonna give His people rest
Some crazy things been happening the last couple of weeks
You didnt even notice because were living in Goshen
The smell of death is everywhere in Egypt and it wreaks
Cause Yahweh is angry and Hes causing a commotion
First, He spoke to Mr. Moses from the burning bush
Commanded him to tell the Pharaoh Let His people go!
So that it would be said from Egypt all the way to Cush
That Yahweh is God because everybody would know
Then he went before the Pharaoh and all of His servants
Knowing that the Lord was gonna harden Pharaohs heart
When Mr. Aaron threw his staff, it turned into a serpent
But Pharaoh had magicians and they used their secret arts
Their staffs turned to snakes too, but Mr. Aarons ate them
Because they dont know that our God is the One who caused the flood
But Pharaoh wouldnt let us in the wilderness to praise Him
So Plague 1: Yahweh turned the Nile into blood
The fish died, the river stank, no water for Egyptians
But Pharaohs heart was so hard, he didnt even pause
The miracle was somehow copied by Pharaohs magicians
So the second time around, Yahweh hit em with the frogs
When Pharaoh still was hard-hearted, Yahweh brought the gnats
This was Plague number 3- but now something was different
As hard as the magicians tried, they couldnt copy that
They told him, This was God- Pharaoh still wouldnt listen
Plague number 4 was the swarm of the flies
Plague number 5- all the livestock died
Plague 6- sores terrorized
Plague number 7- fiery hail fell from the skies
You still with me Rachel? I need you to focus
I have something for you- soon Ill reveal it
Continuing- Plague number 8 was the locusts
And Plague 9- it got so dark that you could feel it
You would think that Pharaoh had a little common sense
But after all of that, honey, he still hasnt budged
But when this night is over, he will be fully convinced
Because Yahwehs gonna show Himself to be the perfect Judge
You know how you do bad things and then you get a beating?
Its like that with God- He punishes our wrongs
He cant just look the other way because that would mean Hes cheating
But unbelievably, Hes been patient for so long
But now time is running out and so is Gods pity
Hes the universal Ruler many dont want to cherish
So tonight Hes gonna send the Destroyer through the city
And the first-born son in every house is gonna perish
Look over there, honey- see the blood on our door?
When God notices that, Hes gonna pass by
By faith, were believing in the Word of the Lord
that whoever isnt covered by the bloods gonna die
So now, back to Fluffy: It doesnt seem nice
But part of Gods plan was to substitute another
An innocent victim, Fluffy paid the price
Because if it isnt Fluffy, its gonna be your brother
Scene 2
We rushed into the house so we could finish up our dinner
Rachel, honey, eat your food as fast as you can!
The bread was unleavened and the herbs- they were bitter
Belt tight, sandals on, with my staff in my hand
Joseph and Rachel, its almost time to go to sleep
Mommys gonna wash you up and Ill tell you a story
While Daddys cleaning up, I dont want to hear a peep
Matter of fact, I dont want you to have to wait for me
We put the kids to bed, I knew the time it was dawning
I looked at the table and thats when it hit me
Moses said, Let nothing remain until the morning
We had leftovers and we had to burn them quickly
I started grabbing meat and throwing it on the fire
All over my face, there were drops of perspire
I cried out for mercy as it came down to the wire
The Destroyer was here! Time had expired!
At midnight the LORD struck down all the firstborn in the land of Egypt, from the firstborn of Pharaoh who sat on his throne to the firstborn of the captive who was in the dungeon, and all the firstborn of the livestock. And Pharaoh rose up in the night, he and all his servants and all the Egyptians. And there was a great cry in Egypt, for there was not a house where someone was not dead. Exodus 12:29-30, ESV
