1 Chronicles

In the scrolls of the past where the kings stood tall
One by one they rose some destined to fall
From Judah to David the lineage goes deep
A legacy to keep but the climb ain't cheap
The ark on the move the temple yet to rise
Man's ambition met with heavens watchful eyes
Genealogies listed stories untold
Tales of the anointed and the ones who grew cold
Rehoboam split the crown kingdom went astray 
Solomon ruled wise but his heart did sway 
Prophets sent with warnings some kings did heed
Others chased the gold neglecting the creed 
Through exile and return their faith was in a test
Would they rebuild or crumble like the rest
The chronicles don't end they echo through time
Their struggles and victories still teaching in rhyme
Chronicles of kings wisdom and their flaws
Battles fought with silence battles fought with laws
Every throne that came had a heavy cost 
In the mist of the victories were the battles lost
The past speaks loud in the ancient scrolls 
A lineage of kings where the wisdom flows
From Adam to David each name unfolds 
A story of promise that the prophets told 
Chronicles of faith yeah they paved the way 
For tribes and battles where the legends stay
Through the trials and the tests they refuse to stray
History's heartbeat we hear it today
The tribes twelve strong they carried the fight
Levi with the priests in the temples light
Judahs roar leading through the night 
Each name in the list holds a spark so bright 
Scroll it back rewind destiny's track
The bloodline sacred it never turns back 
Covenant sealed like a heavenly pact
Through their footsteps we find what we lack
Flip the pages truth stands tall
Names carved deep like echoes call
One by one they rise and fall 
But the promise remains it's above it all
