Tabor (Stephen Pohl)

     

     

  On Tabor shone an awesome light 

     when love, the law, and prophet met 

     above the Armageddon plain 

     and people deep in darkness kept. 

       Then he descended in God’s plan 

     to be in our forsaken plight 

     death tested on Moriah’s height. 

--Stephen Pohl, Tabor
