Poetry

---

God makes a new Heaven and earth,
Former things will not come to mind;
That is giving life a new birth,
As the past will no longer find.

Rejoice in what He does create,
Creates Jerusalem with joy;
A new Zion that will be great,
That no one will ever destroy.

He is glad in Jerusalem,
Rejoicing about His people;
Because He will never condemn,
Those who worship in His temple.

Heard no more the sound of weeping,
Nor hearing the cry of distress;
A relief after their sleeping,
Awaken by God who did bless.

No more will there be abortions,
Elder people no longer die;
Only sinners have convictions,
Because of they did cheat and lie.

They dwell in houses that they built,
Planting vineyards and eat their fruit;
Being righteous having no guilt,
No longer having a dispute.

Sinners shall not build nor to dwell,
Planting none in order to eat;
Because their new home will be hell,
The Lord forces them to retreat.

For as of the days of a tree,
Live as the days of His people;
Will be fruitful by His decree,
Soaring higher than a steeple.

They shall never labor in vain,
Nor bear children by mistake;
For their offspring shall feel no pain,
But a treasure not to forsake.

As you are speaking, He will hear,
The wolf and lamb graze together;
All His creatures laud and revere,
For worshipping as they gather.
