In Days Gone By

-From the Passover musical I wrote, "On Eagles' Wings." This was written with my sister, Amy Grace.- In days gone by, Yehovah spoke to Abraham That his children were to sojourn in a foreign land They would be slaves, would be oppressed four hundred years Then Yehovah said, “They shall return here.” Then Yehovah said, “They shall return here.” Will you strength to us give? Give us reasons to live? Will you finally look At the beatings we took From the whip of the foe Oh, Yehovah please know Oh, how desperate we are Please stop being so far From our screams and our yells And the fears no one tells Give us future and joys Give us finally a voice
