About Genesis, the seed plot of the Bible, Josh did speak
Into all Biblical themes and principles Genesis does peek
Including blood, storms, God’s purpose and covenants
As a foundation, the book of Genesis has no equivalents
According to Genesis nine starting from verse eighteen
Noah had three sons - Shem, Ham, Japheth - it is seen
Noah planted vineyards but got drunk and was uncovered
Per verse twenty two, in this nakedness Ham discovered
And about Thanksgiving, Josh’s point was far from murky
The focus should be on praising the Lord, not the turkey
For although God does not require from us any praise
Giving Him praise ends up helping us even on bad days
Returning to Genesis, to his brothers Ham did then share
He did this intentionally, clearly not out of concern or care
Per Proverbs seventeen, he who covers a sin seeks love
Otherwise, it will separate friends and upset God above
Shem and Japheth did not look while covering their dad
What they did was as good as what Ham did was bad
Noah awoke and blessed them and their descendants
But cursed Canaan for Ham’s sin and lack of penance
Blessings last more generations than curses, Josh said
Neither one ends just because the first person is dead
Adam and Eve sinned, thus were shamefully exposed
Their relationship with God was regrettably transposed
Jesus, when faced with the adulteress in John eight
Forgave her in love, even though the sin he did hate
We are to restore a sinner gently, per Galatians one
And definitely not be tempted by what he has done
Like with Adam and Eve, God knows all that we do
Jesus came to cover our sins, heal and make us new
And thus, God’s presence we can once again access
Which means even our descendants He will bless
