Sam Sam

Conceived in The Heart of YAHWEH
Birthed in Zorah and Ramah
To Manoah of Dan
To Elkanah and Hannah

Out of a place of bareness
Pushing forth with Great Force
Wrapped in a Fist so Strong
The 5 Finger Grip of Power and Might

Set apart for Great Victory in Battle
Missions of Grand Design; the Nazirite kind
Authenticated for Proper Purpose
To serve the plans of EL ELYON; GOD Most High

This is not permitted; even in the least
No alcohol, beer, nor wine;
No unclean foods, nor sinful acts;
No touching the dead, and no haircuts

Secure in 5 Fingers of Power and Might
Held in the Palm of HIS Hand
With opposition watching intently
Dark eyes waiting to pull you out; One Finger at a time

Sam, Sam, angels are watching you
Remember the Tenets of your Design
Arrogance will draw you to destruction
Remember the Nazirite Law

Sam, son in The SPIRIT OF YAHWEH
You tore the lion apart with bare hands
Then in your own spirit you ate honey of the dead
2 Fingers of Power and Might withdrawn

You see it as a game;
What is sweeter than honey?
Only 3 Fingers remain;
What is stronger than a lion?

Sam, Sam, don’t get cocky
Don’t rely on selfish motives
Your own strength is insufficient; it’s not what makes you great
It is only the 5 Fingers of The ALMIGHTY

A riddle here, a riddle there
Drops of reality everywhere
“Out of the eater comes something to eat.”
“Out of the strong comes something sweet.”

You’re loosing it Sam, son of YAHWEH
Ashkelon testifies 
Flying off the handle 
Incited by rage, fury, depression, rejection and murder

5 dark fingers waiting to snatch you
And grip you in its cold palm of death
It wants to crush you Sam
Packing up your purpose and sending you away

Sam, Sam, angels are watching you
Remember the Tenets of your Design
Arrogance will draw you to destruction
Remember the Nazirite Law

At the time of the wheat harvest
Torching the fields of the Philistines
With foxes in hand and tails on fire
You instigated death and demise

Sam, son in The SPIRIT OF YAHWEH
Like burned strings, your ropes were weakened and fell
And with the jawbone of a dead donkey
Death came to a thousand men at Lehi

With a donkey’s jawbone 
You made donkeys out of them
With a donkey’s jawbone
You killed a thousand men

Traveling feet to Gaza 
Led you to a prostitute 
There you lost another One
Only 2 Fingers remain

In the Valley of Sorek 
That place of “choice vine”
Carousing; consorting with strong drink
Only 1 Finger remains

Hitting the wineskins
Falling in love
With a woman full of charm and tricks
Who’d sell you out for 28 pounds of silver 

She wound you around her fingers
Her name meaning “door”
Pulling you into the darkness one last time
Leading you into captivity – for sure 

Sam, son in The SPIRIT OF YAHWEH 
“Where does the power of your strength lie?”
Many times she asked, and many times you lied
But the last would surely loosen “The Grip;” – you’d die

Laying in her lap that night
She called forth 7 men
7 braids – they cut and shaved
Making you weak; losing your strength

1, 2, 3, 4……..5 Fingers of Power and Might gone!
For alcohol, beer, wine; unclean foods
Sinful acts; touching the dead, and that haircut
Dismantling SABAOTH’S Perimeter of Protection

Sam, son in The SPIRIT OF YAHWEH
Weakened and destroyed
Shackled in chains with eyes gouged out
Only the darkness remains

Grinding grains in bronze chains
In prison for all your days
Until your hair grew back again
Then calamity would befall

All those in the temple
To celebrate dagon, their god
Placing you between two pillars
Capturing the way you lived

Between two opinions
Pushing and pulling
Between two center pillars
Bringing the entire temple to its knees

All the rulers and the people
Including yourself
Left in the dust and debris
Of worship gone wrong

Sam, son in The SPIRIT OF YAHWEH
Judge of Israel for 20 years
Long gone are your days 
Secure in 5 Fingers of Power and Might

In the fullness of time, another came to be
In Shiloh he would reign
In service to the KING of Kings
Bearing the same name

Sam, you, EL ELYON’S son
Do not make the same mistakes 
Remember the Tenets of your Design
Remember the Nazirite Law

And so you did, wholeheartedly
As Priest, Prophet, and Judge
Anointing kings of Israel
Destroying all Amalekites

From the mountains of Ephraim
Dedicated to serve – To bring to order
From Jerusalem to Bethlehem
And Benjamin to Judah

Sam, you, EL ELYON’S son
You listened to the Voice that Called
In the darkness of the night
There you welcomed YAHWEH’S WORDS

Surely and Steadily receiving every lesson
Growing up in YAHWEH Alone
Proven in all of Israel ~ From Dan to Beersheba
A True Prophet much stronger than the one before

Sam, you, EL ELYON’S son
Judge of Israel for 40 years
All your days you remembered HIS Ways
The Tenets of your Design

It is a tale for the ages
Of two brought forth for ONE
For the Work of their CREATOR
For the Plans of YAHWEH’S HANDS

Sam, Sam, no longer are your days
Yet time still speaks of you
Of how you lived your life in HIM
And how you’ve proved your worth 

Sam, maker of mistakes
Runner of amok
Judge of Israel, vehemently
Cursed with a deadly price to pay

Sam, fixer of mistakes
Keeper of the Peace
Judge of Israel, humbly
Blessed with obedience and loyalty

Two for ONE – With a moral attached
One embedded at the start
“People look at the outward appearance;
But YAHWEH looks at the heart”
