If these stones could sing
they’d cry out HalleluYah
the King has been here
and is coming again!
He was rejected, scorned and spat upon
The creation is His
though His own knew Him not
All the earth will tremble at His return
He put words in the mouth of a donkey
healed the lepers and the blind;
the dead rose to life
and demons were cast out
The stones bare Him witness
in altars that were built
Satan tempted Him to turn them into bread
He’ll do with what’s His as He will!
If these stones could sing
they’d cry out HalleluYah
the King has been here
and is coming again!
Author notes
Lu 19: 37 And when He was come nigh, even now at the descent of the mount of Olives, the whole multitude of the disciples began to rejoice and praise YAH with a loud voice for all the mighty works that they had seen;
38 Saying, Blessed be the King that cometh in the name of YAH: peace in heaven, and glory in the highest.
39 And some of the Pharisees from among the multitude said unto Him, Master, rebuke thy disciples.
40 And He answered and said unto them, I tell you that, if these should hold their peace, the stones would immediately cry out.
Mt 3:9 And think not to say within yourselves, We have Abraham to our father: for I say unto you, that YAH is able of these stones to raise up children unto Abraham.
Mt 4:3 And when the tempter came to Him, he said, If thou be the Son of YAH, command that these stones be made bread.

He's my inspiration. I'm a Music Minister Singer/Songwriter & almost always post His Scripture with what I 'receive'.

ty for entering... a religious piece has its place in spiritual contests, of course... but, boy, as for me...I am a spiritual person who understands that some needed those teachings..they are the same as our ancient teachings in many ways. The stones sing one way to me and many ways to many others.

Thanks for
holding this contest. I wasn't going to enter this at first but then was inspired by my Savior's words: the stones would immediately cry out! Hence this piece & my entry. I'm a Music Minister/Singer Songwriter/Poet & I declare His word as much as I can & publish for Him here at AP. I'm interested to see what you gave the winning trophies for!

What a way to get the gospel message out...about the stones, much like the River Jordan's...makes me think and the rocks cried out!. Excellent. Blessings.

Amen! This is a lovely poem that honors the Son and respects the fact that HE IS WORTHY of all our praise and adoration. Even the stones would praise them if they could! Word of wisdom, thanks for sharing.
