Why Didn't You Go To The Mountains Lot? (an original poem)


Why didn't you go to the mountains Lot?
The Lord commanded you so.
He spared you from sulphur, fire and salt,
yet still you would not go.

What did you fear in the mountains Lot

that was worse than wrathful rain?
He singled you out for salvation -
did you doubt He would do it again?

Why did you flee to the village Lot,

to gather provisions and wine?
Would He abandon you to starve in the hills?
Would you limit his love divine?

Were you consumed with grief o Lot,

Blind to your daughters' need?
Abraham was near - you knew it Lot -
Your good friend's sons had seed.

Why did you settle for a cave Lot,

for a legacy of shame and derision?
All because you limited God's great love
and doubted his on-going provision.

Why didn't you go to the mountains Lot?

The Lord commanded you so.
May we all learn from your mistake o Lot
and go when God says go.
