Getting All the Egypt Out of You

May you
Not only come out of Egypt
But also
May all the Egypt
Come out of you!

Like the Hebrew children
Who God brought out
Of bondage
To Pharaoh
You have been delivered
From the kingdom of darkness
Into the kingdom of light.

Christ has broken the bonds
Of slavery
To sin
To death
To fear.

You are free,
Child of God,
You are free from Egypt.

But you are more than free!
You are an heir,
A co-heir with Christ.
So I bless you to see
The land of milk and honey
And know that it is yours
In Him.

I bless you to think
And breathe
And hope
And fight
Like an heir.
It means that all the legalistic,
Slave mentalities
Have no more room.
May all of Egypt come out of you!
