Put on your dancing shoes! I actually began playing this song on the piano at age 5, together with my dad on the accordion, called "Tzena Tzena"-and can remember vividly all the neighbors crowded together in our tiny livingroom, singing and dancing polkas! So this song always brings back powerful memories to my heart. It's actually an Israeli folk song, to which someone later adapted the words of Exodus 15:1-2. The Bible version, known as "The Horse and Rider Song", is actually an awesome song of victory!
Horse and Rider Song (Ex. 15:1-2):
Exodus 15 describes the miraculous deliverance of Israel through the Red Sea, with the annhilation of Pharaoh's entire army - all men, chariots and horses. When Israel came through the standing water walls completely, they rejoiced to see the dead Egyptian soldiers floating up on the shores, as the Lord drowned the entire army of Pharaoh, The scripture refers to this song as the song of Moses and the people, and they sang it with great joy at their complete deliverance, with women dancing playing tamborines. (This song uses the same melody as 'Tzena Tzena', a traditional Israeli folk song, made popular by Pete Seeger and the Weavers, music written by Issachar Miron and lyrics by Yechiel Chagiz.)
Great and Wonderful (Rev. 15:3-4)
Then in Revelation 15 (the traditional passage read from the New Testament on this day by Messianic believers), once again the term "The Song of Moses" is named, with "The Song of the Lamb." This is a beautiful song making reference to "YHVH Tsevaot", the LORD of Hosts, or The LORD of Armies. The music is by Stuart Dauermann from New York City.
