God spoke as darkness around, Surrounded
Abram as he lay on the ground astounded
The Lord swore an oath – No promise for Abram to make
God's word alone – Impossible the Covenant could break
Abraham had believed and was granted a deed
To a Land and seed, soon would Sarah conceive
His descendants would be a blessing to all of the earth
Those who would bless them He'd bless, those who would curse them he'd curse
The same was repeated to Isaac and Jacob
The promise eternal no way Adonai could forsake it
Gave them the Torah and the Temple with a new system
Of atonement so that sinners could commune with Him
Filled with zeal – to guide them He sent prophets
And to seal the deal – the Messiah would zip lock it
Not up to chance; no one is blockin' His plans
To make it undeniable He called the shots in advance
Yeshua of Nazareth, truly miraculous life
Full of compassion, exuding a dazzling light
He came to His own, but they didn't understand
That the Son of Man, was a humble Lamb
Like Isaiah predicted was hated, afflicted of men
Most, they didn't get it - the Savior was smitten for them
"O Jerusalem", Yeshua wept and decreed
" You won't see me again, till you confess blessed is He"
Yeshua miNatzrat, ben David (Jesus of Nazareth, Son of David)
Lo yada'nu mi ata, hayita ke'oyvenu (we didn't know who you were, you were like an enemy to us)
Hayita meshicho shel hanochri (you were the messiah of the stranger/gentile)
Lo dimyanu she'hayita meshichenu (we never imagined that you were our messiah)"
The disciples took the Message into every land at the Messiah's command
Many gentiles embraced and desired the Lamb
Grafted in to the olive tree, a fitting analogy
To the Jewish Messiah from the sin of idolatry
Wait, Jerusalem falls, the people are scattered
The Temple's in ruins, their dreams have been shattered
The one's that were grafted in are believing the chatter
God is done with the natural branch and He needn't re-gather
They forget He would scatter them for sin
But swore to restore them back from the four winds
What He shuts, you ain't as much as crackin' the door hinge
So clearly, if Israel is back then it's all Him?
If He can use the pagan Romans to scatter them
Then He can use secular Zionists to re-gather them
He's Sovereign, awesome, no thought of obstacles
Even involving the godless all is possible
Such is the love of God, recall the prodigal
Who did his father wrong was far from honorable
But when the Father saw Him coming He was filled with joy
The older brother envious, he was real annoyed
Your brother was dead, he's alive again
He gave you the Scriptures, now why are you denyin' him?
If their rejection meant the Messiah to ya'll
Their acceptance will be revival for all when they finally call
Yeshua miNatzrat, ben David (Jesus of Nazareth, Son of David)
Lo yada'nu mi ata, hayita ke'oyvenu (we didn't know who you were, you were like an enemy to us)
Hayita meshicho shel hanochri (you were the messiah of the stranger/gentile)
Lo dimyanu she'hayita meshichenu (we never imagined that you were our messiah)"
The sons of Israel trembled in utter shock which grew to a great fear
As the true identity of this ruler became clear
They thought that he was a foreigner, just the lord of the others
But this man was a son of Jacob, and one of their brothers
The one they had rejected, they were glad when the boy was sold
Now they genuflected as he stood in his royal robes
With tears welling over – the exalted one approached them
"Please come closer – I am your brother Joseph"
It was now reality
No words they could utter, this was more than just another dream
Joseph wept loudly
They embraced one another, felt the love from their brother-king
Likewise, Messiah's removing the garb that veils
He's standing with His hands outstretched, scarred with nails
The One who was pierced, they will see Him, and they'll be cleansed
Pure like on Yom Kippur, from every sin
It's already started, from Israel to the distant lands
Day by day do their tents expand
The old shoot, grafted back into it's own root
Praising with an offering of oil from its own fruit
They said we would never see the day they'd become a nation
They say he won't pour a Spirit of grace & supplication
He accomplished the first, surely He'll finish the rest
All of Israel shall be saved every tongue will confess
Yeshua miNatzrat, ben David (Jesus of Nazareth, Son of David)
Lo yada'nu mi ata, hayita ke'oyvenu (we didn't know who you were, you were like an enemy to us)
Hayita meshicho shel hanochri (you were the messiah of the stranger/gentile)
Lo dimyanu she'hayita meshichenu (we never imagined that you were our messiah)"
Yeshua miNatzrat, ben David (Jesus of Nazareth, Son of David)
Anu ro'im she'et hanevu'ot hegshamta (we can see that the prophesies, you fulfilled)
Az ka'et be'feh echad anu kor'im (so now with one voice we cry out)
Baruch ha'ba beshem Adonai (blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord)
