Israel! Be silent.. Listen, your father is calling you home. The years, so long, the miles so many, since you have been gone. Your land cries out for you, open your ears and weep at the coming throne. His hand and His fingers etch out your path to your dwelling place and home. Silence! Listen for His grace. Seek out the wisdom of His face.. Why do you hesitate? Why is there groaning in your assembles a’ far? Do you not remember the story of the wise men and the star? Emanuel, and Peace with you? What enjoyment is your disgrace, seek what is true! He has taken you in as a chick, under His wing as a mother hen. Why do you slumber? Why do you not know His voice? He is calling you in… Israel! Awaken, and go home… The years, so long, the miles so many, since you have been gone. Your land cries out for you, open your ears and weep at the coming throne - ..Jerusalem.. My tears for you flow as a mountain river, made of fresh melted snow. What is this word I hear inside, a word for your inhabitants to know? He is Peace. He is His Word. He has made a path for you to go. Rise up O Israel, as in that last day of captivity. You are free! His love for you is alive, not dead as that carved and broken tree. Rabbi! Open the door to the house of prayer, and close that window of deceit. Cast your robber’s riches away, and teach your children to pray, not defeat. O, Israel.. Your debt is paid.. Go to that wall, that keystone, and that foundation which He has laid. History is yours a richly reward, scrutinized. Your life He has graciously made. He has measured out the walls of the city, inlaid the streets with gold. He will not rest of his daily work until His story is told. Israel.. You know in your heart His time is at hand, When He will be crowned King, and rule over His Land… Be silent.. Listen, your father is calling you home In your prayers and worship as the Priest you were made to be, Pray for His love, His Peace, and His promise - that all will be set free. |

Sometimes I wonder do the children of earth hear the call of their heavenly Father. Do they hear Him calling them home? Bon-Bon  [This message has been edited by Bonnie j (04-14-2004 05:25 PM).] |
