November "Bible Blog" Winner—a Poem by Emelda Alexander

Follow the Ark

My walking is aimless my life is bland
Under my feet is sinking sand
My heart is wicked my sin in a stack
Oh Lord help me follow the Ark.

I long for home on solid ground
To till the soil amidst the sound
Of birds above the song of larks
But Lord you say, follow the Ark.

I hear your voice and I tremble
Your word can make my world crumble
You send the fire create the spark
My only way through is to follow the Ark.

Lead the way I will follow thee
Part the waves I can cross the sea
When the cloud is hung and the night is dark
Oh Lord my God I will follow the Ark.
