Trapped

Between the sea's unyielding wall
And the enemy's relentless call
We stand, uncertain what to do
Our fate, a puzzle, torn in two

The waters stretch, a vast divide
Before us, an impassable tide
Behind, the pursuers close in fast
Their rage and hatred will surely last

Like reeds in the wind, we sway
Tossed between hope and dismay
The impossible path, we must choose
And trust that God will see us through

In the stillness, a voice whispers low
"Fear not, I will make a way to go"
The waters part, a path appears
And we walk forward, through doubts and fears

With every step, our faith grows strong
And we emerge, where we once were wrong
The enemy's plans, foiled and undone
As we cross over, to the other side, we've won.
