well Jonah had his whale
and Elijah had Your fire
Joseph had a dream
and David Your desire

Solomon had wisdom
immorality for Enoch
Sara had a laugh
and David had his rocks

looking back i can see Your hand
through this time – across this land
all these random incedents
leave no room for coincidence

You know Israel found Your favor
the shepherd found his lamb
Abram found the courage
then he found the ram

Moses had Your wonders
Saul he had the crown
but You knew he’d only
rise to let You down

 

Ezra had the wall
after he swallowed the wine
babylon had it all
and they still got a sign

isaac had a blind date
with a woman from a well
samson had a secret
delilah had the spell

paul he saw Your glory
shining in the sky
peter used betrayal
till a rooster made him cry

i’ve had my problems
livin’ just like You
but still you forgive
like only You can do.
