Into the Land of Goshen

Posted on by Marla
Famine throughout the land, how will we survive?
Protected by, a sovereign hand, “Go to Goshen, there you’ll thrive…”
Who is this magistrate, that orchestrates this decree?
Why, it’s Jacob’s own son, given power to lead…
Sold as a slave, condemned by his captor, falsely accused
Sentenced to prison, he’s no longer abused, as a mystery unfolds…
He interprets a dream, not all, is as, it seems…
Brothers who betrayed him, are now redeemed…
Into the land of Goshen, the place of comfort and plenty,
They are spared by the hand of God…
Protected from the evil of the world, they are prosperous and secure
In the secret place, they worship and live, in the presence of their God they’ve endured.
Draw near dear friends, to Goshen and rest, for Goshen is God’s eternal best…
The City of God, where angel-armies were sent, to protect, deliver and set free…
God’s very own family. They’re restored and re-unite.
Singing songs of victory, and lullabies pierce the light…
Resting in the King’s heart, for his supreme delight.
Goshen, an oasis, abundant in love and peace…
No more tears, no more pain, wars and rumors of wars, come to an end and cease…
No fear of dying, no attacks of any kind…
With a new body, a new soul and new mind.
Lying down in green pastures, drinking the waters of life…
Into the land of Goshen, we go, and take our final flight!
Under Goshen’s stars, we dance ‘til the morning light, as we celebrate new life.
The King bends down to kiss his bride,
Exuberant Joy pierces the sky, Rejoice, he’s no longer alone…
Shalom, Shalom, we’re home!

Exodus 8:22 And in that day I will set apart the land of Goshen, in which My people dwell, that no swarms of flies shall be there, in order that you may know that I am the LORD in the midst of the land.

I love the Lord Jesus Christ and am passionate about writing. I hope you enjoy the blog and come to visit often. Then the Lord answered me and said: “Write the vision And make it plain on tablets, That he may run who reads it. For the vision is yet for an appointed time; But at the end it will speak, and it will not lie. Though it tarries, wait for it; Because it will surely come, It will not tarry. “Behold the proud, His soul is not upright in him; But the just shall live by his faith. Habakkuk 2: 2-4
