Reason A. Poteet Poet Rhyme

Zealots Speak

Zealots, one by one, with steadfast passion
         serving God as Master
      in enthusiastic fashion -
                     His broadcaster.

Zebulon’s tribe pardoned for insurgence
          became clear spokesmen yet;
      famous mariners and merchants
                    with God’s mindset.
      
Old Testament prophet Zephaniah
          foretold deportation
      of God’s hope for the Messiah - 
                    chosen nation.

Old Zacharias, priest in the temple,
           doubted in disbelief,
      lost his speech; really simple -
                    he caused God grief.

There was Zebedee, busy fisherman,
          father of James and John,
loosed his sons, new mission began
                    their anchors drawn.

Simon the Zealot, unsung disciple
          attentive, observant,
     zealous for Jesus, not idle
                    as His servant.

Zealots, one and all, somewhat imperfect
          serving their Savior God.
     Righteous, they were voices He picked
                    to give Him laud.
