Song of Moses

[15:1] Then sang Moses and the children of Israel this song unto the LORD, and spake, saying, I will sing unto the LORD, for he hath triumphed gloriously: the horse and his rider hath he thrown into the sea.
Moses song is a rich source of faith – build history, sung the morning after the passage. This song was the oldest poem in the world. It will be sung by the tribulation saints. (Rev. 15). Other songs Moses wrote – (Deut. 32; Ps. 90:1-21 is the song, it is echoed by Miriam, who is 90 years old, and the women followed her. (v. 21; 6:7).
The Song of Moses is the one given by Moses to Israel the day that he died. It is called the Song of Moses and also the Song of the Lamb, because the Lamb later confirms that same Song to us. That brings certain majesty to it.
Moses may very well have been one of the greatest men of G-d that ever lived. When we combine his Song with the Song of the Lamb, the Son of G-d, that is a duet that will long live in our hearts and memories. There is an unforgettable beauty and melody that lingers to all who hear it.
There were two songs given by Moses, forty years apart, one at the crossing of the Red Sea and the other was the song Moses’ sang the day that he died. The L-rd then took him putting him to sleep by the word or mouth (I like to think of it as a kiss) of the L-rd. This song contains the parting message of one of the greatest servants of G-d that ever lived, our L-rd Y’Shua being excepted. It is this song that the Lamb also sings.
Moses visited each of the tribes before he offered this song. No doubt he had many wonderful things to tell each tribe. There were personal ties and warm friendship involved in this last exchange as well as very serious exhortations. They knew he was to leave them. There was a serenity and sense of awe and wonderment that gripped the people still living there on the other side of the Jordan waiting to enter the Promised Land.
They could not, at this point in time, hide their great love and affection for Moses. They truly loved him.
Love has a way of winning out at the end. If you can’t win people with love you can’t win them any better way. Moses’ love for his people had finally won, and they truly loved him.
This song was no ordinary song. This song was never to be forgotten and to make certain of this the Lamb of G-d picked it up and taught it to the saints. Moses was a prophet, and as a prophet sometimes there is unhappiness about knowing things which will come to pass. It had been revealed to Moses what would happen at his passing. He knew things that were heavy on his heart.
Let us not underestimate the value of prophecy. How often we do. Prophecy is necessary for both being delivered and preserved. The Song of Moses was written down as a part of the book of the Law. It was taught to the people and later it was preserved in the Ark of the Covenant. It became a part of Law together with the two tables of stone. Yes, the Song of Moses was there also. We read this in Deuteronomy 31:24-26
