A Remnant

My son don’t cry for your brothers

As they go the day is coming when their hearts will hurt like mine

And then they’ll know my love it doesn’t carry all the hatred

Like theirs does

It doesn’t drink from the waters of their guilt anymore

And then they’ll know that i’ve been praying all along

On these steps and on this hope

Staring down that rising sun waiting for their day to come

When their shadows will break the light

And i’ll meet them running home.

My sons! how i cursed the day you left

My bride! how i missed your loving kiss

Oh my daughters! how i’ve seen you all alone

Come back to me jerusalem! how i’ve long to call you home

The river flows and ankle deep it calls

To me it calls to me and as it goes in depth it grows

And trees find life the earth will heal and they will know comfort!

I will have my day the blind will finally see

I’ll heal the sick and lame this flood will wash away their shame

Because i’m still in love with that girl

In the gutter and for all her sins i’d take no other

My sons come join in your father’s feast!

And my bride come take your place as queen!

And my girls you will never you will never be alone!

The throne is filled the river flows

Jerusalem our home
