OT
Though palace-born, I chose disgrace,
To walk with slaves and seek God's face.
I held a staff, the sea obeyed—
And from a rock, the thirst was slayed.
Who am I?
Moses
I tried to sleep far from the call,
A storm pursued and made me fall.
I sank in guilt, in belly stayed,
Till I obeyed the vow I made.
Who am I?
Jonah
We sought no king of crowns or halls,
But one born low within poor walls.
We followed signs, avoided traps,
And left behind our golden maps.
Who are we?
The Wise Men
I could not walk until I met
Two men with power better yet.
Silver I sought, but faith they gave—
And leapt with joy outside the gate.
Who am I?
The lame man healed at the temple gate (Acts 3)
Though unnamed, I turned to see,
And left behind eternity.
My backward glance sealed my fate—
Now salt and sorrow mark my state.
Who am I?
Lot's Wife
Hair was my strength, but heart was weak.
The secret told made ruin bleak.
A final push, though eyes were gone—
A temple fell, and foes moved on.
Who am I?
Samson
The womb I leapt, though words I lacked,
And in the wild, no comfort packed.
My hands prepared the straightest way—
Though one came after with brighter day.
Who am I?
John the Baptist
My twin I had, yet rarely shown,
I needed proof before I'd own.
Once I touched His wounded side,
“My Lord, my God!” I finally cried.
Who am I?
Thomas
I faced lions for my prayer,
Though silence would have kept me there.
I would not bend to king’s command,
So angels moved with unseen hand.
Who am I?
Daniel
Dreams were my language, betrayal my road,
Sold into chains, yet favor bestowed.
A famine revealed my part in the plan—
To feed a world, though once just a man.
Who am I?
Joseph
My gain came from unfair weight,
But mercy found me at the gate.
A tree I climbed, not to steal—
But to behold the One who heals.
Who am I?
Zacchaeus
Once breathing threats with zealous hand,
I traveled far to strike a band.
But blinded by a light so high,
I rose to preach what I defied.
Who am I?
Paul
I fell not to sword, nor chariots wide,
But to one who never wore armor or pride.
Though I defied heaven with voice and glare,
A sling found me unprepared.
Who am I?
Goliath
I stretched a fleece not once, but two,
To test if what I heard was true.
Though I was least in clan and name,
God called me forth and lit the flame.
Who am I?
Gideon
No fault was mine, yet cursed I hung,
Mocked by those who cheered and sung.
Three days in stillness, then I rose—
The grave could not my soul enclose.
Who am I?
Jesus
I pledged to die, to stand and fight,
But thrice I fled into the night.
A rooster crowed, my heart did sink—
Yet later, grace restored the link.
Who am I?
Peter
I stood with arms as fire fell,
My altar drenched, the sky did yell.
False prophets watched their power die—
When I proved who ruled the sky.
Who am I?
Elijah
I judged not by the outward face,
But found the youngest filled with grace.
Anointing came where none could see—
God's chosen one was meant to be.
Who am I?
Samuel
I sat at booths and counted coin,
Despised by those of Jewish join.
But mercy called me from my post—
Now I write of Him I boast.
Who am I?
Matthew
I questioned truth, washed guilt away,
Yet crowds still called for blood that day.
Though Roman-born, I bowed to fear—
My name still echoes year to year.
Who am I?
Pontius Pilate
