The Lord made Pharaoh’s heart stubborn.
And he did not let the sons of Israel leave his country.
So often our hopes are stillborn.
Blocked by some unseen spiritual sentry.

The blood shall mark the houses you live in.
I will pass over you and you will escape the destroying plague.
He passes over and spares us even if we have sin.
Even if our commitment is all too vague.

This day is to be a day of remembrance.
You must celebrate it as a feast in the Lord ‘s honour.
Nothing can approach it in resemblance.
And nothing would be the same as before.

……..

Our hearts are stubborn
Do we listen to others
We may pay a price

See Exodus 11
