Play on nursery rhyme: The House That Jack Built
Reflecting on the Story of Rahab from the Bible
This is the ribbon,
that hangs out the window
in the house that God built.
This is the woman
who owned the ribbon
that hung out the window
in the house that God built.
These are the tears
The woman cried
who owns the ribbon
that hung out the window
in the house that God built.
This is the bottle.
That captured the tears
of the woman
who owns the ribbon
that hung out the window
in the house that God built.
This is Christ’s back.
That bore the sorrow
in the bottle
That captured the tears
of the woman
who owns the ribbon
that hung out the window
in the house that God built.
This is the cross.
That was drenched in Blood
from Christ’s back.
That bore the sorrow
in the bottle
That captured the tears
of the woman
who owns the ribbon
that hung out the window
in the house that God built.
This is the promise of forgiveness.
That came through the cross
Drenched in Blood
from Christ’s back.
That bore the sorrow
in the bottle
That captured the tears
of the woman
who owns the ribbon
that hung out the window
in the house that God built.
