No bread and no water
And we loath this light bread
We should've stayed in Egypt
The stiffnecked Israelites said

They were so unthankful
Though God had parted the Red Sea
He sent the fiery serpents
To bring them to their knees

Many of them died
Before Moses interceded 
He made a brass serpent on a pole
And raised it for all to see it

All who got bit
Would look upon the pole
They would not die
God had mercy on their souls

O Lord, hear; O Lord, forgive; 
O Lord, hearken and do;  (Dan 9:19)
We cry, not for our own righteousness (Deut 9:6) (Dan 9:18)
But because your great mercies are true

Please go before us (Deut 9:5)
In our thoughts and every step
Until we possess that promise land
Let your Words in us be kept (Deut 11:18)

Daniel 9:18-19
O my God, incline thine ear, and hear; open thine eyes, and behold our desolations, and the city which is called by thy name: for we do not present our supplications before thee for our righteousnesses, but for thy great mercies. 
O Lord, hear; O Lord, forgive; O Lord, hearken and do; defer not, for thine own sake, O my God: for thy city and thy people are called by thy name. 

Deut 9:5
Not for thy righteousness, or for the uprightness of thine heart, dost thou go to possess their land: but for the wickedness of these nations the LORD thy God doth drive them out from before thee, and that he may perform the word which the LORD sware unto thy fathers, Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. 

Deut 9:6
Understand therefore, that the LORD thy God giveth thee not this good land to possess it for thy righteousness; for thou art a stiffnecked people. 

Deuteronomy 11:18
Therefore shall ye lay up these my words in your heart and in your soul, and bind them for a sign upon your hand, that they may be as frontlets between your eyes.
