When God took us out from Egypt, we left in haste,
Not waiting for our flat bread to rise--no time to waste:
No time to contemplate the events of the night;
Just time to leave in a hurry, right after midnight.
No time to count the miracles God had performed
Or to see that to an orderly sequence they'd conformed;
Only the following year could we begin to comprehend
That our Exodus was carefully sequenced--not at all random.
So this is our charge to each and every generation:
To reenact the Exodus of the Jewish Nation.
And each time we relive the drama of Passover Night,
We move one step closer to the Messiah's light.
In haste did we exit Egypt the first Passover Night--
In orderly measure we shall leave the Diaspora when
the Final Redemption shines bright.
dramatic verse with anaphora
Christ, we confess You as Savior and Lord;
The Lamb’s Book of Life, our name written down.
Your love, grace and mercy is our reward.
At the judgment seat, we’ll offer our crown.
Lamb slain from the foundation of the world.
Christ, we commend You to foe and to friend;
strangers hear of our deepest convictions.
Behold the Lamb, transgressions to amend,
who forgives all our sinful addictions.
Lamb slain from the foundation of the world.
Christ, we concede to your authority
which You refused when You came down to earth.
Bound to salvation - your priority,
You, Holy Lamb, bore a pauper’s low birth.
Lamb slain from the foundation of the world.
Christ, we celebrate your life and your death,
The Passover Lamb, our highest treasure.
Without your example, your living breath,
this earthly existence has no pleasure.
Lamb slain from the foundation of the world.
Christ, we crown You – reigning, King.
We aspire for a place in your kingdom.
Worthy are You, Lamb, your meekness we sing;
we give all to partake of your wisdom.
Lamb slain from the foundation of the world.
FATE
See this wonder that enclaves our heart,
The song we sang as the Israelites in need of king.
That Change became our daily slogan.
Yes we need it, oh it must be in earnest.
In their time they called for revolution.
This period, it amounts to a treasonable offense.
Like the woman in the advice of Solomon
Lured us to their feast.
The sickness they have said to be healed.
Has prevailed on us that what ought to be the last resort is their strength.
Why and why has this loin come on us?
We eat crumps in the midst of wealth.
And our head is not safe offshore the land.
What have we done that this yoke is laid on us
Even this favour could not lure his Uncle to solve.
It amazes me how a lawyer as him could be so interested in this man.
Our hope is lost even in the man we cherish to found it.
This is so astonishing for us to be slaves in our land.
Dear great divine, in your trust we are
For a Passover against this that has made itself our fate.

I would rather talk of love than talk of pain
I would rather embrace in love than think war
I would rather caress than fight a beloved one
I would rather do than think of doing it the act
For it only hurts so when it's a thought a wish
I would rather write of nice stories and hide the gloom
Them feelings spilling themselves on my poetic picture
That hardening of heart when i don't want to embrace
The hurt's and scratches deep inside my soul i.. wanna
I want to cry Daddy give me the grace to face all
Meat and bitter herbs i am partaking today-
Celebrating the Lords Passover - embittered
Would rather my words were pure sweetness
Soul in tears sacrificed at the pedestal of love
Soul that seeks to find refuge that elusive hug
Hugs that wipes away all the tears and fears
Cleaning all the grime and glut of this soul
Embrace that delivers from the pit of gloom
Hug that softens this hardness in mine eyes
Looking above - love and betrayal a is a cup

In Genesis
When
Abraham asked by Issac
"Father, where is the lamb?"
Abraham answered
" Son, God will provide a Lamb"
Abraham was
Faithful
Willing
Offered
His son
God
So loved
Abraham
Stopped him
And showed him
A RAM
Temporary sacrifice
John
Met Jesus
Baptized Him
The Holy Spirit
In the form of
A Dove
Landed on Him
Afterwards
John said,
"Behold
The Lamb
Of God
Who takes
Away
The sin
Of the world"
Take note
The sacrifice
Was supposed to be
A pure, unblemished
Young lamb
In Jewish law
Jesus was The Lamb
He was sacrificed...
1 Corinthians 5:7 Get rid of the old yeast, so that you may be a new unleavened batch-as you really are. For Christ, our Passover lamb, has been sacrificed.
John 1:29
New Living Translation
Jesus, the Lamb of God
29 The next day John saw Jesus coming toward him and said, “Look! The Lamb of God who takes away the sin of the world!
Also look at Genesis 22: 8-14
We’re having a Seder on Zoom
And Passover foods we'll consume.
We’ll eat as a group
Things like matzoh ball soup
But our seats won’t be in the same room.
We’ll read the Haggadah to tell
Of the story we all know so well –
How the Jews, once enslaved,
Crossed the sea and were saved
Though they wandered around for a spell.
Tradition requires we recite
Plagues which filled the Egyptians with fright:
Locusts, blood, boils and then
Frogs and more, which made 10,
All repeated on Passover night.
So by sundown, the Seder will start,
Though from custom we have to depart.
Still, by screen we’ll connect
And we’ll one day reflect
How this plague couldn’t keep us apart.
With springtime now upon us,
If your town has lots of Jews,
The supermarket has some foods
You might have need to use.
For Passover’s approaching
And the holiday demands
No bread nor pasta be consumed;
Thus, stores have made their plans.
A special section’s filled with
All the substitutes we need
To serve at Seder time, just like
The ancient texts decreed.
There’s matzoh meal, gefilte fish
And macaroons and cakes
And all of the ingredients
For anyone who bakes.
This Passover array depends
On neighborhood and store,
So often pickings might be slim
While other shops have more.
For Jewish folk with markets
With no matzoh, I’d behoove
You to tell the owners how you feel
Or do what I’d do - move!
I let them all pass over me –
The cheery Happy Easters!
Assuming I will be among
Today’s hot cross bun feasters.
But no, I won’t be eating lamb
Or ham with all its glazing,
Although I’m sure the Easter pies
My friend makes are amazing.
For I’m observing Pesach,*
So what I will eat instead
Will be matzoh or its relatives,
All with unleavened bread.
Of course, there’s meat and chicken,
Lots of veggies, eggs and fruit
And special cakes and cookies,
Made with matzoh meal, to boot.
I used to set those people straight
Whose greetings had no clue
That Easter’s not for everyone,
But I no longer do.
When people offer me a wish
For a Happy Easter day,
I smile and say, “The same to you”
And send them on their way.
*Passover
God has a great love for sinners
but He is perfectly holy altogether
so God devised a plan to rescue man
send His son Jesus to deliver
Jesus is God but also became man
lived a perfect life here in His 33 years
went to Calvary's cross with man's sin
He paid the perfect sacrifice with no tears
So in our place Jesus our substitute
took all our sins He the Passover lamb
so now in repentance we can find God
because Jesus now is our healing balm
Our eternal salvation is God's gift
bought with the price of Jesus own blood
such is the bountiful love of God
pouring over us like a crimson flood
Give thanks to God and God alone
for His perfect provision for our sin
Jesus Christ His only begotten son
our Passover lamb in Him we won
("For Christ, our Passover lamb, has been sacrificed."
1 Corinthians 5: 7b (ESV)
"The next day he saw Jesus coming toward him, and said, “Behold, the Lamb of God, who takes away the sin of the world!")
John 1: 29 (ESV)
Matzo pasta does not have noodles
Kosher for Passover has rules by the oodles
Even your collie or poodle has to abide by these rudles
And eat leaven-free treats --- not exactly apple strudel
At first it's not bad, I mean life without bread
After four or five days, though, you're out of your head
It's not just bread, after all, it's pizza and crackers and beer
What you wouldn't give for a cookie, just a bite, just a smear
So now we're all counting the days: four, three, two, one
We just cannot wait until all these restrictions are gone
And we get back to normal...order a pizza dripping with cheese
Just hold the sausage, of course; that's not kosher either, please
