Ham

Horeb centred divine son by alterity displaced
Africa calls your children, it is time to be embraced
Melchizedek Order, arise, minister in your place

                        2
Ham son of Noah
Africa light breaks dawn's grace
Melchizedek found

                        3
Ham's Hittite haunted by hungry hosts of hell
Aggressive sea-people soveriegn salt suckers swell
Melchidek's music mounting miracles against pagan spell

You are so knowledgeable about the Old testament. We don't hear much of the Old Testament read in church these days. I hope you don't mind but you got me started: H is for Holy - It’s also for hell A is for Angel - In Heaven they dwell. M is for Mary - the mother of Christ And ham’s also tasty when cooked well and sliced. hmmmm Only a bit of fun.
