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. ".
