When your children ask in time to come, ‘What do those stones mean to you?’ then you shall tell them that the waters of the Jordan were cut off before the ark of the covenant of the Lord. When it passed over the Jordan, the waters of the Jordan were cut off. So these stones shall be to the people of Israel a memorial forever.
Joshua 4:6b-7
Twelve stones from the Jordan
were pulled from its dry bed
to commerate a crossing
into the Promised Land
as the Ark of the Covenant
was carried on dry land
and God gave His people Israel
good blessings from His hand
Twelve stones from the Jordan
relocated to the crossing's shore
were meant to show a generation
yet to come, God's blessings sure
and teach a people that a faithful God
would do all for them and more
with miracles, provision, and deliverance
God's covenant love had much more in store
Twelves stones from the river
on the bankside piled high
served to give memorial praise
and answer the important question why
Israel was God's own people and nation
chosen in past generations gone by
to show the praises of a mighty God
Who delivered them home safe and dry
