Tune: Austrian Hymn
('Praise the Lord, ye heavens adore Him')
Joel 2 v.28-32
************
It shall come to pass, the Lord say
That I will pour out those days
My spirit upon all flesh, your
Sons, daughters prophesy sure
And your old men they shall dream dreams
Young men shall see visions, scenes
And on servants and on handmaids
My spirit be seen, displayed
I will in heaven show wonders
In earth blood, smoke, fire confers
And pillars of smoke too witness
The days of the Spirit this
Be so, and sun turned to darkness
And moon turned to blood, no loess
Events before day of the Lord
His return, as says His word
And it shall come to pass, that who
Shall call on the Lord's name true
Shall be delivered, rescued, saved
For the way He shall have paved
In mount Zion, Jerusalem
Shall be salvation for them
And though His people may be few
Salvation to all, e'en you

Good write O! A bit late online today?
Thank you A. Yes, at the moment I find (UK) afternoons/evenings easier times to post poems.
Nice to shift schedules every now and again!
Loved this one Orchi a take off a famous and often used scripture my friend. Nicely done.
Thank you SB.I said of possibly using the USA National Anthem, but lines are rather long. Here's the German National Anthem I think, in this tune. So thank you Herr SB. lol.
The USA National Anthem music was stolen from an old English bar song. "To Anacreon in Heaven", written by John Stafford Smith.
Reading this watching the news.
Jewish flags, Palestinian flags, and mad Zach P, talking trees.
This is when you need a hymn.
Thank you PB.
good write
Thank you F.
Ah, Orchi...I see yesterday wasn't enough to finish saving the lot of us. 😂 Carry on, good sir. Some of us may require several installments especially with all of this Devilishly Dreadful lighting around here on Mondays! Yikes! Well, at least we didn't hear...
