As a young girl, I watched over my baby brother, Moses.
In a basket on the river Nile.
At middle age, I watched him flee the wrath of the King.
As an elderly woman, I greeted him as he returned home…
And now I’m with him facing the Red Sea.
The Red Sea before us, soldier’s behind, obeying God we run
No one lags behind…
Our God is taking us all the way to the finish line…
Horses and chariots, strong military men, pursue us in our plight
Behold! The sea crashes down on them,
They come to a watery end…
YHWH, delivered us this day.
Tambourines in hand, young and old, Miriam cries out…
Sing O daughters of men! Sing and do not keep silent
For our victory is won!
Praise and sing the God-praise song.
Joy fills the camp with a victory shout…
No more slaves, we’re delivered, set free…
For God in his sovereignty,
Has given us new life today!
We sing; we dance, our souls rejoice
Our God has triumphed gloriously,
Upon the other, side of the sea.

Exodus 15:20-21 King James Version 20 And Miriam the prophetess, the sister of Aaron, took a timbrel in her hand; and all the women went out after her with timbrels and with dances.
21 And Miriam answered them, Sing ye to the Lord, for he hath triumphed gloriously; the horse and his rider hath he thrown into the sea.
