The Ark of the Covenant
Moses built the Ark of the covenant;
Instructed by God on how to make it.
The tablets of the law were in the chest;
As to where other holy items would rest.
The ark was lead by God through a wilderness;
To find a home for God's chosen children.
God prepared the way and was with them;
Crossing the Jordan and cleansing them.
After the miracle of Joshua's long day;
When God slowed the earth for a whole day.
The philistines filthy hands touched the ark;
God plagued them for their act of unholy art.
King David brought the ark to Jerusalem;
Where it was safe in the Temple of Solomon.
Pigs of war trampled over the temple;
The Dome of the rock replaced it like a pimple.
Some say that the ark is underneath the dome;
I say that the ark is at God's heavenly throne.
