So You Wanna Go Back To Egypt

Having then been wed less than a year when my loved one was removed from the earth at that time as I sought the truth I came to experience God's new birth But after a few months on Christian pathway been given a love now had been taken away I began to question my situation Then God asked by music which way? The music was from late Keith Green 'so you wanna go back to Egypt' was the album that God used to take my soul be completely stripped The question came from the title track I knew it put me on the rack all my moans could not suffice for God's ways best I must get back So many songs on this album showed how much I did yet lack such as 'you loved the world' 'lies' and 'Romans VII' spoke to my heart But God lifted me to the heights to say 'O Lord you're beautiful' 'I want to be more like Jesus' with 'Grace by which I stand' were my fuel This continually speaks to my soul questioning 'If I love the Lord' my heart must be united to His to be able to use his divine sword So now nearly 31 years later I continually 'pledge my head to heaven' never wanting to be back in Egypt realising to me God's perfect love is given (My favourite album of all time still is 'So You Wanna Go Back to Egypt' by Keith Green. This occurred when I was widowed after less than a year of marriage, I came to Christ at that time of my late wife's passing but after a few months, I lost the way a bit and feeling sorry for myself and not happy with God. So then God used this album to put me back on the Kings highway again, Glory to His wonderful name. I am now married again to Christine for 29 years, indeed God is good! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MD9W61KZYxk
