Tally the People
Inspired by Matthew Henry’s commentary on Numbers chapter 1-4 From the people number the amount of warriors For it is the end of His moratorium For too long has the world ignored its Superior And decided to stay in their delirium Who amongst us will distinguish themselves Against temporal things will they rebel Excelling at maintaining sacred belongings Propelling forward God’s outpouring We are called to spiritual battle So encamp around the tabernacle Content to stay in our allotted place As we rest in His glorious grace Remember when He spared the firstborn So service unto Him must we perform Because to those whom God finds work for He will provide help and He will bolster All men and women are the Lord’s by creation And we are His children by His redemption Everyone should know their own post and duty As we are made to follow Him faithfully
