Smooth Stones of the Wadi – 2 – v4


Catching the light of morning

five smooth stones of the wadi

sitting on my windowsill

a present reminder of God’s provision

God’s protection in the storms,

when I face my giants.

 

Kept as a talisman, a memory,

five smooth stones of the wadi

placed before me, shining,

reminding me to trust in God,

to claim the faith of David

for my life, my own.

Like the Stones from the Wadi – v5

The videotaped footage of
their struggle in Cairo
the factions lining up
in Tahrir Square
Lining up, divisions,
Like the stones from the wadi
gathered by David, for his sling
Thrown against the giant
to save the whole nation

Will history see,
what will be the judgment
the same struggle,
the small shepherd boy
against the amassed armies;
The fear of repression, a nail in the coffin,
the subjugation of a people
in the tumult of today, tomorrow
will we hear the same echoes

What will the lessons be, in the future
of the stones being hurled, thrown
will the same be said, in history;
Will we have heard, looking back
what will become, recorded
of the cries of the peoples;
Who will they sing of, in the square,
in the retelling someday, down in time
of what happened on the plain of battle

When the small protestors, the people,
stood against the giant, defiant
with their stones from the Wadi,
What will history remember
of this time, this moment;
What will history say
about our own actions
whether or not we stood
with those on the street

over all the earth – v6

over all the earth
over the highest heaven
is our God, the Lord of Hosts,
Creator of the universe
of all that ever was
of all that is to come
created from the hand of God
Almighty, victorious
over all the earth
His hand is upon the waves
His breath is upon the waters
all that ever was
all that will yet be
created from His mighty hand
