Paul in Athens (Acts 17:16-34)

Paul in Athens (Acts 17:16-34)
By Dr Marilyn Bouniu

As the Apostle Paul
Was passing through Athens
His spirit was provoked
When he saw the idols

He reasoned and spoke
Daily he taught
Although he was mocked
Attention was caught

He stood before them
Addressing their thoughts
A new message to them
About an 'Unknown God'

Whom they had an altar
But did not know who
They were philosophers
Eager to know who

So the Apostle Paul
Shared about Jesus
The Creator of all
Who came to save us

Some perceived
He was talking nonsense
Some believed
In the resurrection
