Bible ABC’s
A is for the Ark so strong,
Filled with creatures large and small.
When the door was safely shut,
The rain began to fall.
B is for a Baby dear,
In a manger long ago.
And shining angels sang a song
To let the shepherds know.
C is for the Christ Child.
In the Temple, we are told,
He talked to all the wise men
When only twelve years old.
D is for Daniel who prayed all day,
In spite of wicked men.
Because of this, they had him cast
Into the lions’ den.
E is for Esther,
A beautiful maid;
Who, when she was queen,
Her cousin obeyed.
F is for the Fishermen
On Lake Galilee.
Jesus called to them one day,
Saying, ‘Follow Me.’
G is for Gethsemane,
The garden far away.
Where with Peter, James and John,
Jesus went to pray.
H is for Hannah.
We read in God’s Word.
She gave little Samuel,
For life, to the Lord.
I is for Ishmael.
In the desert he lay,
Crying for water,
One hot summer day.
J is for Joseph’s coat,
Of colors bright and gay.
His brothers put him in a pit
And sold him, too, one day.
K is for the Savior King,
Riding joyously one day;
And the children, waving palms,
Scattered flowers in the way.
L is for Lazarus,
Who begged at the gate
For the crumbs that fell
While the rich man ate.
M is for Mary,
Who sat at Jesus’ feet,
While her sister Martha kept
The house all clean and neat.

With spear and with bow,
He hunted fierce lions
In days long ago.
O is for the Ointment sweet
Gentle Mary poured
O’er the tired and dusty feet
Of the blessed Lord.
P is for Peter,
Who sank in the sea
When trying to walk
On dark Galilee

Asked long ago
By Nicodemus,
Wanting to know.

Who wanted to stay
With her mother, Naomi,
and glean every day.

The angel rolled away.
The women came to see the tomb
In which the Savior lay.

Following the Lord,
Helping Him to do His work,
List’ning to His Word.
U is for Ur,
A land far away
Where Abraham lived
Till God called one day.

But it soon was stolen
By Queen Jezebel.
W is for the Wise Men,
Coming from afar
To see the baby Jesus,
Guided by a star.

Another name had he.
He chose the noble Esther
His royal queen to be.

Who came to Christ one day.
When he heard what Jesus said,
He sadly walked away.
Z is for Zacchaeus
Who climbed up a tree;
When Jesus was coming,
He wanted to see.
