Water Moved (Song)

 Isn't it funny how it's so easy to trust our parents' every word when we're little kids? It seems we sometimes lose that as we grow older and slip into that stereotypical rebellious teenager phase. Of course, when we're older still, we realize how foolish we were then and recognize the wisdom of our parents. When Daddy says he'll catch us when we come down the slide, we can trust him to do just that. And when God our Father, Who says we can call Him Abba or Daddy, says He's got us, then we can trust Him fully even more so! Moses and the Israelites found that to be true in the midst of their exodus from Egypt when they encountered the Red Sea with Pharaoh and his crew fast on their heels in pursuit. It wasn't their defeat like Napoleon at Waterloo though. That was no problem for God. He just had Moses raise his rod over the sea and the water moved! And the Israelites walked through on dry land and then it turned back on Pharaoh and his soldiers and consumed them. When The Lord says He's going to do something, we can trust Him to do it!



"Water Moved"
(Parody of "Waterloo" by Abba; parody copyright by Nathan Ludwick 7/28/2021)
(Exodus 14-15, Romans 9)

14
In Exodus, Israelis in a dilemma
Oh yeah!
And they're on edge of the Red Sea in flight after being slaves
God's history speaks for itself
With all His mighty deeds, Israel!

(Chorus 1)
What to do?
Moses, we're fearing we're done- forlorn
What'd you do?
Egypt would (of) have been far better, Moe
Pharaoh's view-
Shouldn't free slaves- Hey, now- what'd we do?
We'll pursue
Romans 9 states how God did use you
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah- God foreknew
Hardening and placing- for glory due!

(Aaaah!)
Pharaoh!
He tried to get us back but God was stronger
Oh yeah!
The cloud's shifting- gives us distance while lighting up the night
And how could I ever refute?
The sea's moved by wind when God moves!

(Chorus 2)
We're walking through!
Pharaoh's defeated- God won the war!
(The) water moved!
Pharaoh still plunged in, as said The Lord
Sea walls have moved
Look! Manta rays and dugongs have moved
Our Father moved
Moses obeyed Him- split sea in two
Wa-Wa-Wa- We're walking through
Dry land we walk then- Egypt pursues

So God clogs their chariot wheels too
They feel all panicked- Let's vamvoose!
Pharaoh's dudes
Couldn't escape though they wanted to
Pharaoh's dudes
Going to graves when the sea resumes
Is- Is- Israel's waterproof
Totally safe first then water moved!
Ooh- ooh, our Father moved
No one remained then of Egypt's troops
Wa-wa-wa-wa Water moved!
Finally safe from that Pharaoh dude!
Ooh-ooh, Marmaduke
I know that Great Dane's a silly end, dude
