Israel's Story (history in chronological order)

A beauty within dust
A soul filled with trust
A heart-break started
Corruption in the garden
A bond broken in two
Left sin's residue
A warning of destruction
A building's set instruction
Sin wiped off the plate
A brand-new slate

....A warning within Ur
A city sent to burn
A family split in two
Two countries rivals too
......Sin immersed
Older brother cursed
A chosen son
Slavery begun
.....A nation established
God's chosen banished
Spies in the land
Pushed away God's hand
Broken hearts, tears
Sent to wander 40 years
Come back - set things straight
Jericho took the bait
.....The Judges file in
Samson's sin begins

.....She goes with her
Her reward, a redeemer
God hears the people's plea
Through Saul He gives a king
A man after God's own heart
Wisdom takes a brand new start
People still tell of evil Jezabel
Elijah represents God's voice
The people are given a choice

A voice in the wilderness
Prepare a way for your King
......Here He lays in a manger
Hear Heaven's angels sing!
Teachings, Parables
Decietful Betrayal
Unfair trial given
Satan's will seems bidden
Three days and nights of silence
Sin stands in deaf defiance
Others casting blame,
Yet out of the grave He came!
Israel your search is done,
Behold your Messiah has come.
