The poems below could have been engraved on the headstones of famous Bible people. After reading each one, try to guess who is being described.
- To me, Christians were worse than debtors; I would chain them up in iron fetters. But God changed my name, forgave my blame, had me travel and write letters.
- You know me as the girl God chose to bear his only Son. I was scared but bravely dared to let his kingdom come.
- My sheep knew me as shepherd. The king enjoyed my strumming. But when I was anointed by Sam, Saul's behavior became unbecoming.
- When my boss died I took over. We crossed over a dry riverbed, and the walls of the city we conquered collapsed just the way that the Lord had said.
- I learned the hard way it doesn't pay when God says, "Go!" to run away. Your boat may toss, the wind may blow, and a giant fish may swallow you whole.
- I used to pray three times a day, windows open, facing the east. How would I know I'd end up thrown into the den of a beast?
- I lived in a garden. My wife made me glad. I never had a mother, and I never had a dad.
- The hair on my head grew long as can be. And strong were my muscles, 'twas easy to see. But I had quite a temper and liked pagan maids, which cost me my eyes and wondrous braids.
- It really was a tiring chore to build a floating zoo. But I was the Lord's "yes man" for sure, and I did what he said to do.
- When I was a baby, I lived in a boat that my mother had made from reeds. Rescued by royalty, I lived a fine life till God called me to do his deeds.
