Crash
Higher than any kite you
fly
High and higher into the
sky
By a string let out by you.
Your pride says what to
do.
Child so so full of yourself,
No one can bring you down,
But you forget the string
is mine.
You will crash upon the
ground.
Obadiah 1-21
What Kind of Brother
What kind of brother
Stands by silently when
your gates are breached,
Ignores your cries for help
when you're taken captive,
Casts lots for your property
and livestock as well,
Blocks all known city exits,
preventing your escape,
And turns you in when caught,
a prisoner in your own land.
What kind of brother, indeed!
Rejoices when your brother
walks in distress,
Sings songs of happiness
when you stumble,
And looks forward to the
day
when you fall
flat on your face.
What kind of brother, you
ask?
One who longs for the day
it will be as though
you had never been.
Shame shall cover you.
And as you have done to
others,
it will be done to you.
Obadiah 10-16
A Savior Shall Come
As one mountain's feet crumble
and is leveled to the ground,
Another's eager hands reach
for the clouds in the sky,
So holiness may again shine,
a new horizon's silhouette.
Then a Savior shall come.
The prominence of one brother
will give way to the other,
While the former will drink
deep,
and do so without end,
So the latter may stoke
the fires
of Zion's final deliverance.
Then a Savior shall come.
Judged will be the mountains,
present and are no more;
Possessed will be the fields,
lowland and valley alike;
And the children of God
will
come crying in the wilderness.
Then a Savior shall come.
Obadiah 15-21 |
