PASSOVER

Today a spotless lamb was chosen

Sacrificed for the sins of all

It’s blood on the mantles of the doors

So the eldest would not fall

The angel of death came around

And took the child of each

Of the families who had not killed,

Painted and had the feast

They could not relax as they usually did

Could not lie around nor lounge

They had to gather things and go

When they heard the trumpet sound

What a triumph when Jehovah great

With his strong right hand

Led them out of Egypt’s chains

Toward Canaan’s land!

So this day we celebrate

The Lord in his great power

Knowing He’s victorious

Back then, and at this hour.

Happy Passover to all of my Jewish friends.
