Salvation Sight - Chronicles Series (3)

Tune: O Waly Waly

('An upper room did our Lord prepare')

2 Chronicles 20 v.15-25

*********

Upon Jahaziel, a Levite

Came the Spirit with insight bright

He said, Hearken to me, all of you

King Jehoshaphat, Judah too

 

The LORD says, Be not afraid, dismayed

Of multitude 'gainst you arrayed

For the battle is not yours, here see

But it is God's, so shall it be

 

You shall not need to fight at this stage

But set yourselves, stand still, engage

And see the salvation of the LORD

He shall be with you, true His word

 

And so they went, the King to them said

Believe in the LORD, he has led

You this far, and still will go with you

So shall you be stablished anew

 

Believe His prophets, and so shall you

Prosper, He will act for you too

To site of battle they went with praise

To the LORD, firm on Him their gaze

 

Then the LORD He did send ambushes

Against their enemies, seen this

Moab, Ammon, Seir, they did fight

Destroyed each other out of sight

  • Comment from author about the poem: A hymn-poem in 9898 metre. There's a spurious version that says I led the singing and praise (verse 5). That was enough to make Judah's enemies turn on themselves and kill each other - cos it was torment for them! heehee. What? It's an almost true version, you say? lol. Just call me to be rid of your enemies. A song or two from me should do it. Simple!

          Yes but she wasn't salved - she had her eyes shut.

          I suspect there might well be something to those spurious comments...... there seems to have been an awful lot of killing in the Bible.... I'm not a great fan of killing.... N

            Thanks N. Yes, especially Old Testament, when they dealt with 'raw' God, as it were. Plus, I was around then, and they couldn't stand my singing. They took the drastic way out.

              I suppose I could make the odd exception..
