Building Upon Our Faith! Poem by Denis Martindale

When Noah had a job to do,
He had to build a lot
And though joined by a favoured few
Just look how far they got...
He counted numbers now and then
While judges watched nearby,
He saw the stern stares on those men,
No need to ask God, 'Why? '

And so he drew and drew once more
The building plans and such,
Then prayed to God, then sealed the door,
As if the final touch...
And in the Ark, before the storm,
The animals were still,
Despite the fact that each felt warm,
They felt a sudden chill...

For water raised the Ark above,
To float upon true faith,
As God spared Noah by His love
And kept him strong and brave...
A remnant blessed survived and lived
And prospered as years passed,
But only as a gracious gift,
God sent from first to last...

Each chosen for a noble cause
That spanned the centuries,
In service to God's truths and laws,
Their holy Lord to please...
And saints like these, still build today,
Both paid and volunteers,
Because Lord Jesus is The Way
Who leads us through these years...
