Passover, passover!
'Tis a feast to the LORD!
If you keep it you’ll save
Your first born from the sword.
The blood of a Lamb,
A male of one year,
Strike it’s blood over your door
Then partake without fear.
Make a dinner of lamb,
Unleavened bread, bitter herbs.
Eat it in haste,
Obey these my words.
The first month is the time,
Then on the 14th day,
A Lamb without blemish,
Such is the Way.
A cry filled the land
As such was never heard.
His firstborn now gone,
Pharaoh’s heart was stirred.
‘Go now!’ Pharaoh cried,
‘Serve your God like you said.
Make haste, make haste,
Lest we all be found dead!’
So before it was leavened,
Israel took up their bread.
No longer Egyptian slaves,
They spoiled them instead.
Six hundred thousand men,
Women and children too,
A mixed multitude followed,
And left that land for a new.
Through trials and tests
Yahweh held Israel’s hand,
He loved them so much,
Yet few would understand.
Nearly sixteen hundred years after,
A new Lamb would come,
A Lamb without blemish,
God’s only Son.
He was slain for our transgressions,
He was mocked for our shame,
Yet He rose again
That we might call on His name.
His body was broken
As the bread that we eat,
The wine, as His blood
Will make us complete.
Christ is the Door
By which we pass through,
The bread is his body
Which was broken for you.
Remember this feast
When God did passover us,
Forever we must
All this truth Discuss.
Get rid of your sin,
Cast all leaven out,
Don’t hold any back,
Be all pure throughout.
For a little will spread
And contaminate all.
Remember, only one sin
Caused Adam’s fall.
