The Finger Of God |
And the two tablets Scribed with the law and Written by the finger of God His word captured in the stone Were cast down and broken At the mountain's base And I am moved By a message from God Shattered and in pieces at our feet Of covenants unkept and Testaments unmet here In the shadow of Sinai And I have not seen God's face Only his finger as he wrote His presence fire on the mountain A flickering and a flame That melts an icy heart In the company of the Lord by Doug Tanoury This poem is © Copyright 2001 |
