Passover Us....

Today i was listening to a song from my new CD "Behold The Lamb Of God", and there was this track called "Passover Us". As i listened as the singer repeated "Let Your judgment passover us", i couldn't help but have that sense of awe and fear, that the angel of death was there to slay the first born of Egypt, yet spared the children of Israel from such great calamity. I can imagine how the Hebrew children would huddle together with their family in their broken-down slave quarters made up of mud and straw, holding tightly to their mothers as the angel of judgment "passover" them. They witnessed the demonstration of a powerful and terrible act of God, yet they experienced first hand the mercy of a God that has kept His promise to their forefathers. They were afraid, yet they knew the promise that God will not harm His people, especially the little children. The blood on the door post was His proof, and the blood on the door post was their redemption.

I couldn't help but feel a great sense of awe invading into my heart as i listened to the song. God, in all His mercy and power, smite Egypt in order to free His people. Moses wasn't the deliverer; he was merely a servant. God was their deliverer. Later in history, God will once again deliver His people, this time with a Lamb too. A spotless and pure lamb, led to His slaughter so that the wrath of God may "Passover" us, seeing the blood on the door post of the hearts of those who chose to believe.

My heart's prayer is that i'll never lose the wonder of it all, to see in fear and awe as the wrath of God passover me, passover all those that i love and cherish, family and friends.

Lord, let Your judgment Passover us
Lord, let Your love hover near
Don't let Your sweet mercy Passover us
Let this blood cover over us here...
