The Bible Alphabet Poem by margaret haig

I want to write a different poem, of the alphabet bible you see,
It's sort of different and about names and animals known to you and me;
Of course it may be bible places, and names for God as well,
So let me start, see how I go, if it's good then to me please tell.


A is for animals like elephants, and camels, and the donkey too,
Lions, sheep, bears, dogs, and cats, anymore I can tell you;
Vipers, goats, Buffalo, and badger, lots more that's true.
God made all these animals, and Adam named them all, not just two.

B is for the birds in the bible, that God made for us,
Like eagles, ostrich, doves, raven, He made them without fuss;
Blackbird, osprey, peacock, many birds of prey,
Swan, sparrow, stork, Some fly so high, and up is where they stay.

C is for clothes that would have been worn then,
Breastplate, armour, robes, these worn by men;
It does not say what a woman wore, but dressed right,
A woman was not to be immoral, in a mans sight.

D is for dangers that a Christian might need to know,
And how to protect us from the evil enemy that's so;
Like alcohol will harm ones soul, so we need to abstain,
Not to have fear or hatred, or want the world to gain.

E is for enjoyment by a Christian can know real joy,
Everything is what we give thanks for, each girl and boy;
E is for each other we need to be kind, and show care,
E is for everybody, need to know that the Lord is always there.

F is for the fish, found in the bible they were important too,
Like when Jesus taught of tithing, a coin in the fish mouth it's true;
Then Jonah was swallowed by a fish the size of a whale,
Because he disobeyed God, that story's not just a silly tale.

G is for the gems, like topaz and emerald, diamond too,
Cardonyx, sapphire, ruby, Amethyst, made for me and you;
But the most important is the pearl found in a shell,
But also we do have the pearl of greatest price, is what to you I tell.

H is about Heaven, a glorious place it will be,
Where no pain or tears there, no night will we see;
And heaven will have the streets paved in gold,
It will be for those who are saved, Christians so bold.

I is for The Children of Israel, who was Jacob at first,
They disobeyed God, many times and they were cursed;
They were in the wilderness, For many a year, for their sin,
Just because they had not learned, to trust God within.

J is for Jesus, and for the many names we know,
He is the Way, truth and life, and teacher and Master also;
He is the Saviour of mankind, and our Lord and King,
The bright and morning star, light of the world, we sing.

K is for keep the laws of God, we really must always obey,
K is also for knowledge, we must understand what God does say;
K is for kept, we that love God, are kept by His might Power,
And K is for the King of Heaven, He's with us every hour.

L is for Love, we need first to Love the Lord,
L is for learn, we must learn from His Holy Word;
L is for the letters of Paul, found in the new testament it's so,
But L is for Gods Love, He gave His Son, we need to know.

M is for Mary, and Martha, two friends of Jesus, we see,
M is for Mary. Who gave birth to Jesus, her baby;
M is for mother, in proverbs, tells us we must obey,
M is also for mind, we must let Christ mind dwell in us it's so.

N is for numbers. A book in the o.d testament we read,
N is for new man we become when a Christian we do heed;
N is for never, never kill or steal, or lie, or Gods law disobey,
N is for nurture, is what God does for us to help us learn to obey.

O is for ointment, His name is ointment poured out on us,
O is for Offering we give to the Lord without fuss;
O is also for obedience, we must obey what we've been told,
And O is omnipotent, powerful and Holy, precious as Gold.

P is for patient, and Peace, and Passover, and Power too,
P is for Peter, and Paul and Philemon, apostles that is true,
P is for perfect will, and pastures, so green and calm for us,
P is also for pride and proverbs, to learn them is a must.

Q is for Queen vashti, who disobeyed the king,
Q is for Esther, a brave Jew, sad news she did bring;
Q is for Queen of Sheba, a very rich Queen in deed,
And what about Bathsheba, whom David said he did need.

R is for rabbi, a Teacher was Jesus so called, one day,
By a young rich man who couldn't give his rights away;
R is for Rachel, Ruth, and Rebecca, whom they loved The Lord,
And R is for Robe, that Jesus wore, we read of in the Word.

S is for Salvation, and by Grace we must be saved today,
S is for sin, Jesus will if we ask, to wash our sin away;
S is for sacrifice which the priests gave a lamb so pure,
S is for the soul that seeks the Lord, he Lord will help them to endure.
nst
T is for tabernacle of the Lord, a place to come into His Prescence,
Where they made sacricial thanks with special incense;
T is also for thanksgiving to the Lord, that with do give
And T is for tithing, a tenth of all we get, all the time we live.

U is for understanding what the Lord says in His word,
To understand we need to study and His word we need to have heard;
U is for uttermost desire to serve the Lord and King,
U is also for those who have unbelief, fellowship with Christ they're missing

V is for valiant. Men in the word were valiant to serve the Lord,
V is for the Victory we have against the enemy, it says in His word;
V is for. Vengeance belongs to God, we cannot pay back again,
And V is for very patient Father, we have when our faith is in vain.

W is for Worship, and serve, and Honour to our King,

Also W is for the Way we need to live, not in a life of sin.

X is for xtra love sometimes we need when we are down,
When we are hurting, depressed and want to frown;
X is not sure for Christmas, it's His birth we celebrate,
And X sometimes means times, and there are times we feel irate.

Y is for yield, we yield to God things that He does own,
Y is for young, we need to become like young children,
Y is for youth, David reminded us to remember in the days as a child,
And You. Is why Jesus came to die for, but some hear and get wild.

And now we come to Z the letter is for zechariah Gods special man,
Who because of unbelief, he couldn't speak, the others didn't understand;
And Z is for zephaniah, A book of prophecy. Tells of Christ's coming again,
Z is for Zealous, need to be zealous in serving Christ, otherwise our faith is in vain.

So that is the bible alphabet, Lots to remember and learn, of His Word,
And there is things you may not have known, or had you already heard;
It's been a lot to write, I thank the Lord, for His advice and help to me,
God guides my life, and my poems that I write, He is my teacher you see.
