    About this ebook

    Exodus 15:1-19 references the song of Moses and the Lamb. It appears as the first and only of its kind. Henceforth, some of the more musically inclined Levites took up the task. My, after a thorough look, I see it's composed of neither rhyme, verse, nor any structure. Yet the Lord calls it a song of his victory. Writers of the Middle Ages would refer to it as a ballad, a long lyrical melody telling of a journey. Then there's today's modern songs. Many of these could not be considered elemental poetry by any sense of the definition. Maybe we should redefine our strict conceptions of the word song. If Moses could write such a thing and the Lord considered it music, what could you do for him. See, for me it all started with an abandoned notebook found in a thrift store. The Song of Moses was my very first entry as a young thing with hardly any lyrical talent of mention. If the Lord could fill an empty notebook with many pretty words just think what he could do with you. Perhaps you might be saying to yourself, 'not very much.' Remember the widow with her lost mite. How she rested not until her lost talent was found. So, the Lord does with some of us resting not until we are found. If you are neither among the lost nor found, perhaps you need only to trust him or something small as that may be. Then as the old songwriter says, God does "the rest."

      Children of Light - Holly Vaughan

      Dear You, 

      Exodus 15:1-19 references the song of Moses and the Lamb. It appears as the first and only of its kind. Henceforth, some of the more musically inclined Levites took up the task. My, after a thorough look, I see it's composed of neither rhyme, verse, nor any structure. Yet the Lord calls it a song of his victory. Writers of the Middle Ages would refer to it as a ballad, a long lyrical melody telling of a journey. Then there's today's modern songs. Many of these could not be considered elemental poetry by any sense of the definition. Maybe we should redefine our strict conceptions of the word song. If Moses could write such a thing and the Lord considered it music, what could you do for him. See, for me it all started with an abandoned notebook found in a thrift store. The Song of Moses was my very first entry as a young thing with hardly any lyrical talent of mention. If the Lord could fill an empty notebook with many pretty words just think what he could do with you. Perhaps you might be saying to yourself, 'not very much.' Remember the widow with her lost mite. How she rested not until her lost talent was found. So, the Lord does with some of us resting not until we are found. If you are neither among the lost nor found, perhaps you need only to trust him or something small as that may be. Then as the old songwriter says, God does the rest.

      With Love

      By Faith

      By faith in the Father,

      Through faith in the Son,

      Through faith in the Spirit –

      Three in one.

      Some brought down kingdoms,

      Turned armies to flight,

      Shut the mouths of the lions,

      And overcame the fight.

      More were beaten cruelly.

      Still others were slain,

      Sawn, hewn, and torn apart.

      But Christ was their gain.

      All are our examples

      Of how we should live.

      In all things some were victors.

      Others they had to forgive.

      By faith in the Father,

      Through faith in the Son,

      With faith in the Spirit

      Their forever home won.

      The Old Story

      Tell me the old, old story.

      I want to hear it again;

      How God left his home in glory

      To die for sinful men.

      How he lived everyday

      Sharing his will for us to obey.

      When all was accomplished

      He went to the cross.

      Laid in the tomb in sadness,

      Rose victorious over sin,

      Went back to God’s right hand –

      Jesus, the Savior of men.

      Then won’t you tell me again?

      I want to hear of his love;

      Then go to a world that is dying

      And tell them of our Father above.

      Ripples

      A ripple in the stream

      Hints of rapids further on.

      I wonder what my lot will be

      In seasons not yet gone.

      The stream grows deeper

      As it turns around the bend;

      It rushes, pushes madly on.

      I know not where it will end.

      In joy, distress, or trial

      My lot comes from above.

      It’s safe to trust and rest completely

      In my Father’s hands of love.

      To Buffy

      Buffy is an old dog

      And her years number thirteen.

      But this dog makes memories

      Wherever she goes.

      When she’s happy to see you

      She’ll wave her paws

      And she’ll be sure to have some tricks to do.

      Buffy is a good dog.

      I must close this poem

      But thanks for sharing Buffy with us.

      We enjoyed her a lot.

      Traveling

      Precious Lord,

      My hand to take

      Let me not

      Make no mistake.

      It might be just

      A little while

      To wander on I go

      Through many a mile.

      .

      Precious Lord

      Lead me onward

      To Heaven’s glory land

      Bring me homeward.

      Rhyme

      Some of you might wonder what all these have in common. It is simply this. The last word in two of every four sets of lines rhymes. The rhyme are any two words which sound similar. A good example would be:

      hare there

      The rhyme and the structure together form the most basic type of English poetry known as sonnet. It has been called this way because many have practiced it over the years. Again though, just because a lot of famous people do it, doesn't make it right. I am sure your culture does something way more
