Echoes of Sinai

Rocky mountain with rugged terrain under a clear blue sky.
 
In the desert’s quiet breath, a voice so grand
Spoke of laws divine, etched in the sand
From Sinai’s peak, where lightning meets the sky
God’s voice resounded, a sacred lullaby
 
Ten commands, a covenant so pure
Guided hearts, made spirits sure
“One God alone, no idols to adore
Keep Sabbath holy, and honor evermore
 
From Abraham’s faith, a seed was sown
in lands unknown, his trust had grown.
One God he served, a light to all
his legacy in every call.
 
Isaac’s quiet strength, in fields of grace
taught us faith’s enduring pace.
A gentle heart, with patience rife
he cherished every breath of life.
 
Jacob’s struggle, a tale of old
wrestling angels, stories told.
From night to dawn, a nation’s name
Israel born, through joy and pain.
 
Twelve tribes sprung forth, a vibrant thread
in unity, their spirits led.
From promise, land, and blessing wide
through trials, they would abide.
 
Commandments carved in stone and heart
in every soul, they play a part.
No theft, no lies, in love abide
with justice as our faithful guide.
 
From Sinai’s fire to patriarch’s dream
a river flows, a sacred stream.
In every law, in every plea
echoes of God’s voice, forever free.
 
In faith and deeds, ideals stand
in every heart, in every hand.
The voice of God, a timeless song
guides the path where we belong.
