Marie Duddle Poet Rhyme

The Strongest Chord

Noah built an ark, David danced before the Lord
He slew Goliath with a stone all in the name of God.
Joseph had a treacherous time, condemned to die in jail
yet rose in stature, name and fame to see his dream come true
his brothers who had hurt him so, bowed down and did not know
that this great man was the one they maimed
their brother, flesh and blood.,

Esau sold his birth right, all for a plate of soup,
he did not know the price he'd pay, that sad and sorry day.

Jacob worked for seven years to claim his only love
yet Laban did not keep his word - poor Jacob he was robbed.

Sampson fell before Delilah revealed his source of strength
yet had a mighty power surge, and took his own revenge.
Many are the great men, who walked and served the Lord
stumbling, faulting, just like us, but there's one thing that they knew:  whatever happens, bad or good, just trust in God above
His faithfulness is our strong reward, His Word the strongest Chord
