"And Moses... they understood not... but he that did his neighbor wrong thrust him away, saying, Who made thee a Ruler and a Judge over us?" (Acts 5:22-27).
Joseph, son of Israel,
Was sold to the Egyptians.
(Jesus Christ was sold as well,
Through similar conditions.)
Moses was not understood
The first time that he came.
His reward for doing good
Was thanklessness and shame.
These are portraits on the pages
Of our world's history,
Of Christ rejected through the ages,
By force or apathy.
It all comes down this one thing:
To trust the Lord today.
If you don't worship Christ the King,
You thrust the Lord away.
