A Bible Poem

In the beginning, Adam and Eve ate the forbidden fruit.
              This could have been a fruit like a date or a red apple. 
              It certainly was not for us to sample.  
              Consequently, God made animal skin robes to cover 
              their bodies down to their naked ankles. 
           
              The first sacrifice of a lamb was done by righteous
              Abel. God accepted his offering, that he
              did gladly put on the offering table.
     
              Noah built the Ark; by grace his family 
              with the animals assembled. Then came
              the rain floods that descended from heaven.

              The Israelites blew their mouths like a
              trumpet at Jericho, then the walls crumbled.

              The wooden Ark of the covenant covered by gold 
              is a physical symbol, toward God’s spiritual
              agreements.

              David took a smooth stone, a big pebble
              and conquered Goliath the Giant.

              Man may stumble and man may tumble.
              Pray always to be able, stable and humble.

              Jesus took up His cup, which the Father gave
              Him and never did fumbled it but did drink from it.

              There are musical instruments that give
              harmonious sounds for worship; some
              are the piano, drums, timbral and cymbal.

              People keep your body a holy temple.
              Yes, the Lord Jesus Christ is our perfect
              example.

              To do righteousness is holiness unto God.
              Holy, Holy, Holy is the Lord God of host.

              We are in the last days. Things are going
              to happen that will cause the whole earth
              to rumble and tremble. God will save His
              own elect from the end time crucible.
             
              After all these things, God shall appear to
              reign forever and ever in His majesty,
              beauty, goodness, holiness, righteousness,
              and greatness forever and ever.
              Hallelujah, Amen!

Wonderful narrative poem, Ronald. I love the "Greatest Story Ever Told" feel of this cool write. And the torrid praise whirlwind at the end is a thrill ride for any Christian. Excellent poetry, my friend. Love and more love to you and yours.
