Arrows And Stones Could Not Strike Samuel The Lamanite
The Nephites who believed the words spoken by Samuel the Lamanite,
applied unto the prophet, Nephi, wanting baptism with all their might.
They were then numbered among the saints of The Holy Lamb.
They believed Jesus would be flesh incarnate of The Great I Am!
From atop the city wall, Samuel delivered The Lord's word.
Slings and bows were used to aim at him, but no strikes occurred.
Some hearers chose to harden their hearts, to their condemnation.
Others were deeply touched and angels brought tidings of salvation.
The unbelievers thought it foolish tht a Christ should ever appear,
especially near Jerusalem, the home of their ancestors so dear.
