Poetry

Oh Israel, God's chosen one,
The promised birthplace of His Son!
You did not recognise Him come--
Your house was left to you undone!

The One who walked in Galilee,
Who stopped the wind and stilled the sea
Is He who sets the captives free--
Oh, if only Israel would see!

He healed your sick and raised your dead,
Gave sight to blind, the hungry fed--
You chose a robber in His stead,
While on the cross the Christ hangs dead!

By His death was death's defeat,
Who crushed the serpent 'neath His feet--
His resurrection proof complete--
Justice and mercy in Jesus meet.

Oh Israel, His chosen land,
He looks on you with outstretched hands--
Seek Him that you would understand
Your part in His eternal plan.

Oh Israel, in heart I cry
That God might open up your eye
To see that Christ whose coming's nigh
Is The Lord Himself--God Most High!
