“Because I will publish the name of the LORD: ascribe ye greatness unto our God.” (Deuteronomy 32:3)

The Song of Moses is a lyrical poem that begins with the appeal to heaven and the entire world. Moses explains the character of God, the evil of Israel, the consistent love and protection that God provides, the promise to always be with them and us.
The Song of Moses is also a memory device. Poems and songs often tell a story that is has a meter, and is simple. Like memorizing the general parts of a body; “the foot bone is connected to the…shin bone” etc…
What we know from this song is that God loves you, even when we forget he exists, or even hate him. God proves that by the way he led Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, Joseph, and the children of Israel from a simple and small people to a great and powerful people.
The sinful nature of Israel is the sinful nature of the world. God treats us with the justice we deserve and punishes us accordingly.
The Song of Moses reminds us of the impossible task of keeping all of God’s laws. Jesus has paid that debt already. We only have to repent of our sin, believe with all our heart and soul on Jesus the Son of God.
