Poem 1st Chronicles
In Chronicles First, of old times we tell,
Of Israel's journey, and where they fell.
From Adam to David, a lineage divine,
God's chosen people, throughout all time.
The tribes of Israel, their numbers vast,
In God's great plan, each one was cast.
In battles and victories, in loss and in gain,
Through joy and sorrow, and so much pain.
David, the shepherd, the king so brave,
With a heart for God, his soul to save.
He danced with joy before the Ark,
His love for God, a flame in the dark.
A king, a warrior, a psalmist too,
God's will and purpose in him grew.
Despite his flaws, his sins, and strife,
David loved God, all his life.
The Levites too, with their roles assigned,
In temple service, their lives intertwined.
Musicians, gatekeepers, and priests among,
To the Lord, their praises they happily sung.
Through Chronicles First, we trace the path,
Of God's redemptive love, and His great wrath.
A testament to His sovereign reign,
In every joy, in every pain.
Remember well, dear friend, this truth,
From age to age, from elder to youth.
God's love endures, His promises sure,
In His salvation, we are secure.
