Covering: Word Ambassadors: Prayers and Poetry

Covering

A specific allotment

a particular inheritance

whether of land or

worship’s blessings.

From new born cries to

faltering old age

a particular command

a specific task to complete.

Walk in obedience

with His strength

covering every day

Creator’s gift.

Tabernacle

Appearance

Set before us

a plain man

no appearance to

draw our attention.

Yet as the tabernacle

riches were cloaked

in badger skins

so he muted his glory.

Became mankind’s

burnt-offering

reversed Abraham’s

ram for son.

Substitution

covered us with

sacrificial love.

Isaiah 53:2, “He had no form or majesty that we should look at him, nothing in his appearance that we should desire him.”

Tabernacle

White Robe

Clothed in salvation garments

Covered in robe of righteousness

His authority written promise

Hands to anointed

Washed by sacrifice

Wear white robes

Cleansed by His blood

Consecrated in worship.

Revelation 7:14, “they have washed their robes and made them white in the blood of the Lamb.”

Tabernacle

Purple

Royal robe

woven from the

beginning;

purple threads

stitched through

reminder of

king’s right.

Still acknowledged

displayed

under crown of thorns,

royal covering.

Mark 15:17, “ And they clothed Him in a purple cloak;”
