Analysis of God Will Use Us For The Greater Good
Ronald Bunch 1982 (Grand Rapids)
Egyptian pharaohs of old
With palaces and chalices,
When the reign of dictatorship was told,
When many men were a part of a single mold,
How the slaves were worked to death
Building the pyramids of old,
How to slavery they were sold.
The Hebrews were fair to behold
Until the last day God saved them.
Pharaoh held all the cards in his hands,
He wouldn't fold.
God won.
Who can fight Him? No one.
Even if they fight as one
God will use us for the greater good
No matter where Moses could have stood!
