Each One An Israelite
Each One an Israelite
Are parts of my poems would not put past
You from the beginning until the very last
Are beyond belief and have much doubt
May be hard to tell what they are about.
Noah put people and animals on a big boat
Then to Lord he took much time to devote
What for in his life the Lord had planned
Where would he want to take last stand.
Wind had been blowing in a great bluster
And his name was Noah and not Custer
On hard pan ended up and would land
Be committed to what God did command.
Noah ended up nearly in a state of shock
Friend Moses found things in a hard rock
Heavy and rather then under armpits tuck
He had decided to go out and hire a truck.
Started to see rock was heavy as can be
Commandments were his personal property
Downhill he did not intend to drop or fall
Took them to people to read each and all.
Told everyone to turn on their TV sets
Then when they did to place their bets
On commandment receiving most attention
While rest had received an honorable mention.
When read was hard to bare all of the strain
Thou shalt never take My neat name in vein
And even if one day eventually grow old
May find a varicose vein all full of gold.
We never took God's name in vein anymore
And then he said just to even game's score
Beloved Son who I love completely to pieces
Don't use name in vein either who is Jesus.
What an honorable group they all became
And never again ever giving God the blame
But about all the sin tension grew and grew
Jumping Jehoshaphat one had been a Jew.
Amazing how a saying can come into being
Like from sins Jesus was found to be freeing
And then after that He to His sheer delight
Had started calling each one an Israelite.
Think about that one for a while.
