New song

I wrote this song in about 8 hours (interrupted by studying for an exam and taking said exam), and I think it turned out pretty well considering. Most of this comes almost straight from Isaiah and Ezekiel, while the first two lines from the chorus is from Lamentations. You can already tell this is going to be uplifting, can’t you?

 

The Promise

 

I will be their God

And they will be my people

What a promise I made,

What a covenant to keep!

But their kings have gone away,

Whoring without payment

My beautiful bride,

Lade bare for all to see

(chorus)

With their own hands,

My people cooked their children

Traded My blessings for the Curse

Because of their sins

I will hand them over

To the gods they whored themselves with

 

 

Oh, that I had not stayed

My hand in the wilderness

My name would not be mocked

In the nations of the earth

But because of their unfaithfulness

The nations can’t believe

Of my beautiful promise

They have made a mockery

(chorus)

I will be their God,

My Son will be their shepherd

My name will be made great

In the nations of the earth

Because of Judah’s wickedness

The nations can believe

And my beautiful promise

Through their judgment complete

(chorus)

With their own hands,

These people killed my children

Traded salvation for their death

Because of Judah’s sins

I will hand him over

To the gods he has whored himself with

To the gods he has whored himself with
