"Memorial Stones"

Inspiration from a recent "Memorial Day" sermon

"Memorial Stones" 
Joshua 4:1-9

 

Memorial Day has lots of meaning

Some drink and have beef to BBQ

Others go to church to pray

For freedoms shared so true

 

A memorial is something special
For those who died for freedom

To always truly remember

Living now in God's Kingdom

 

Lord you help me to remember

With rainbows and communion,

Baptism, the symbol of the cross

Oh! To meet You in heavenly reunion

 

In Joshua you spoke of 12 stones

Representing people of 12 tribes

They went through the river

Stones so heavy as it describes

 

Peter said be "Living Stones"
My memorial in life is interconnected
How will people remember me
Will Jesus say "Well done, you're selected"

 

He is my precious corner stone

On Him I do believe and cleave

He is my rock to stand upon

He notices me, His love I do receive

   Verse on photo 2 Samuel 22:2-3

The Lord is my rock and my fortress and my deliverer; my God, my rock, in whom I take refuge; My shield and horn of my salvation, my stronghold

And my refuge.
