Bond Age

Oh , Israel of God

        how your King has loved you

your courtyard paved

        with instructions made of gold

your teaching is transparent

         like pane glass windows

and their views

         our heart and minds enfold

 

Each step we take

brings us a little closer

          to the doors of never turning back

they are built

          upon a firm foundation

the walls framed       a solid fortress

that defy the adversarial attack

 

Within dwells the Throne

         of the most High

his standards the highest

         virtues man can pursue

the fruit of undeserved kindnesses

         and of their loyalty

the things we must always practice

         and to that course be always true

 

Beyond the veiled curtain

        where the high priest        calls on you

the place of flawless love

        where our Lord has entered to

 

Oh city of the King

        how we love you

all roads lead

        to the temple mount

there dwells the clean and holy

and those residents

         a census only you can count

 

Her construction

is overseen by the master builder

who is the architect

of every master plan

his workers skilled and proficient

and they are trained

by their own masters hand

 

They have collected

everything considered precious

that can be found

within the hearts of men

to the King as gifts of presentation

are the hearts of those

who are serving him

 

Oh Beloved husband

I was made for you

everything you sought after

is my delighting you

 

It is your happiness

I serve

you have offered all your treasures

which is more than I deserve

 

You found me in the fields

and in my bondage chained

you severed me from slavery

to the course you have proclaimed

 

If it were not for you

I would never know the cost

what really is worth dying for

the paradise of Love we lost

 

No shame in being naked

where my heart and mind you see

I want this kind of closeness

for all eternity.....

and the minor prophets

and the spirit of Truth
