OH ISRAEL
by vincent lyons 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! I am a Christian who belongs to a home church in Sydney, Australia. I am Irish by birth and desire to further the gospel of Christ by my life and my poetry.
