TBOJ - The Wall 10

10

Our fathers did eat manna in the desert;
as it is written, He gave them bread from heaven to eat.

The wall is not built by wall-builders
Not Sadducees and Pharisees of old
Bridgemakers, peacekeepers, yes;
People like yourself, I’m told

So now you’re the leader
Go gather your people
Mark out the edge of the town

Now this is your garden to
Grow to the great wall
Where water and clean gas
and shelter are found

If you build your home on the wall
Look after your acre, forever
Fir trees and olive, sweet pine and hemp
Forty trees for your family
Then plant more for His Majesty

How can it be!
If they prevail against You,
they would not pay regard in Your case,
to ties of relationship, nor those of covenant;
they look to please You with their mouths
while their hearts do not consent;
and most of them are transgressors.
