"Now there arose up a new king over Egypt, which knew not Joseph" (Exodus 1:8). "Deliver me, O LORD, from mine enemies: I flee unto Thee to hide me" (Psalm 143:9). "Through desire a man, having separated himself, seeketh... a strong Tower... a Friend that sticketh closer than a brother" (Proverbs 18:1,10,24). "For ye know the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, that, though He was rich, yet for your sakes He became poor, that ye through His poverty might be rich" (2 Corinthians 8:9).
In
Exodus when Joseph died,
A
king who knew him not appeared,
When
idols then were multiplied
And
God Almighty was not feared.
The
time has come for separation
To
seek the Lord who died for us.
We
have escaped from condemnation,
For
Christ secured our "exodus."
In
Christ alone we have a Friend
Who
manifested such desire
That
He left heaven to defend
And
save us from the lake of fire.
Lord,
thank You for the excellence
Of
our great exodus procured
Because
You came to our defense
And on the cross for us endured.
