JESUS, DAVID AND GOLIATH & NOAHS ARK There once was a traveler who was driven out of town On His shoulders was a burden that pushed Him to the ground. On His head was a crown made of thorns from a bush And the street was so crowded the guards had to push. They beat Him with nine tails each step of the way Where Christ found the strength, only God could say. They stopped at some sandstone at the top of a hill There was a round hole the cross would soon fill. They made Him lie down upon that wood cross There they nailed Him to prove who was boss. The beam was up-ended by the muscles of men As it plunged down the hole it was carved to fit in. Then Jesus looked up at the lightning that flew And cried, God, My Father, they know not what they do. They crucified our Lord as His blood flowed to earth If inside you believe, you feel what love is worth. They wrapped Him in loincloth when He was taken down Then carefully removed His scarlet stained crown. They placed Him in a cave with a large, round, stone door Before sealing forever, they lay lilies on the floor. Though it wasnt very long, and the stone was rolled away For Jesus resurrected, to rise on Easter Day! DAVID AND GOLIATH David, the shepherd, a tender of sheep Would pray to his God before he would sleep. One day he awoke to the roar of beasts A bear and a lion in search of a feast. David slew both with his knife and his hand Though still just a boy and not yet a man. The Lords love for David was proven once again When he challenged the champion of the Philistine men. Goliaths beastly fingers and hideous toes Made David more selective with the stones that he chose. One for the giant, he knew he would slay Four more for his brothers who were laughing that day. The giant told David, Ill tear you apart; The birds and the animals shall feast on your heart. David yelled back, Ill soon see you dead And when Im through Ill cut off your head! The worst of all men, drew high with his arm Came forth to David to do him great harm. The youth jumped ahead just as quick as a lynx A stone from his sling popped the giant where he thinks. Blood and bone spewed forth as that devil fell down; A thousand pound soldier lie dead on the ground. With Goliaths own sword, David chopped off his head Then took it to Jerusalem, to prove he was dead. NOAHS ARK God saw that wickedness had fouled His world To a state it could no longer be ignored. While grieving sadly He chose to destroy it Though Noah found grace in the eyes of the Lord. The Lord told Noah to fashion a great ark Made of gopher wood and pitch, outside and in. Three hundred cubits long and fifty in width Before the world he knew, would come to its end. Bring your food, your sons, your wife and your sons wives And two of every living sort, be with thee. For with you Ill establish my covenant And all who are with thee shall survive the sea. They all marched forth, two by two, into the ark And waited for Gods waters to flood the land. For forty days and for forty nights The fountains of the deep consumed beast and man. Inside the ark nostrils kept their breath of life As the high waters prevailed upon the earth. Every mountain and every hilltop vanished As all within felt the power of Gods worth. The waters from heaven were finally restrained And after ten months the tops of mountains were seen. God had blessed Noah and all who had joined him To multiply, plant and fulfill His dream. Toms 618 Poems Are Free To Share! By Gods Poet Tom Zart Most Published Poet On The Web!
