The Call to Israel
Hear me now oh Israel please listen to my call
Your Saviour has departed and your city soon will fall
For all the sins committed there when prayer was want be made
As Jesus Christ the Lamb of God for all your sins had paid
But you would not to listen you would not to hear His call
Who left the mighty courts above and laid aside His all
When crying in His agony He begged you to return
You closed your eyes and stopped your ears and gave your back in turn
And in your vain denial of Messiah and your King
You set aside His promises to give you everything
As royalty and priesthood for humanity to see
The blessing of obedience to His divinity
For all the world is chasing after something that's not real
Pursuing after earthly things that they can see and feel
When in its true reality just one thing will they find
That has the answers that they seek and gives them peace of mind
And that one thing you squandered when you turned your back on Him
Who sits upon His mighty throne adored by seraphim
A heritage of Godliness ordained when time began
When God prepared to make this earth to be a home for man
And gave him place and promise in the vast expanse of space
To represent divinity and be His dwelling place
As in His perfect image Jesus made the man and wife
And breathed in them His perfect breath to have eternal life
But like you now oh Israel they turned away from God
And chose a different path to tread restricted to this sod
That led to pain and anguish and at last that cruel tree
Where Jesus Christ the Lamb of God was nailed for you and me
But still you have probation still in love your Saviour calls
And begs you please return to Him before the curtain falls
And all the universe at large cries for the path you chose
And all the ruination as your hope for life will close
And you and all the honor that God wanted you to have
Will be passed to another who chose not the sinner's path
But chose instead the will of God through scripture they could see
That by His grace instilled a faith to last eternally
Matthew 23:37-39; Exodus 19:5, 6; Revelation 5:9-14
