Safety's Shelter - Deuteronomy 19 Poem

More about Safety's Shelter - Deuteronomy 19 Poem

In Deuteronomy Chapter Nineteen, we find,
God's law of refuge for all mankind.
A place of safety, a shelter sure,
For those in need, to endure and endure.
Cities of refuge, divinely set,
For the accused, a haven to let.
If unintentional blood was shed,
A place of refuge, where they could be led.
But not for murderers with blood on hand,
Or those who plotted with evil's demand.
God's justice firm, His mercy clear,
A place of refuge for those who fear.
A fair trial and impartial plea,
God's commandments, the guiding key.
To protect the innocent from blame,
And uphold justice without shame.
So let us seek God's refuge true,
In Deuteronomy Nineteen, a shelter anew.
A place of safety, for all who flee,
God's law of refuge, for you and me.
