Looking at the Western Wall
I see the pain and grief
Etched in the ancient stones
Man’s love and relief

Willing all these ages
To stand and seek God’s face
Coming to the Western Wall
And celebrate disgrace

Failure for the people
Failure for the world
To hate another people
Slavery is their world

So many people
Hated so much
Jesus comes with care and love
“I died for you because I love you”

How can we atone?
What can we say?
Hands and feet speak loudly
Care for their disgrace

Listen as they say it
Accept them as friends
Remember our real foe
And evil will never win

This is the day that the Lord has made
Pray for all you see
Care for their heartache
Pray that they will be free

Jesus is real freedom
Remember He loves you
And you and I are servants
So that the world will know too

Soon we will see Megiddo
Head of the Jezreel
A place of many battles
Civilizations lived and died here

So many armies
So much trade
Consumer wealth exploited
Evil men raged

The stage is set for one day
The mountain will be the stage
Armageddon will come exploding
The world is center stage

Nations will reason with logic
Politicians will explain
Why we must go fight there
To die on evil’s day

Logic will get you in trouble
When dealing with spiritual things
The Lord of all creation
Speaks in mysterious ways

Note that He has led us
Jesus is always the same
When we love those around us
We are honoring Christ’s name

Handling others with kindness
Dealing with respect
Equips us to serve God’s creation
Let’s us represent His love

Christ will come in a moment
Armageddon will fit some way
But you and I are servants
Living our lives today

One, two, three-We go today
Jerusalem’s gates just miles away
The city of the great King
The city of the Lord
Jerusalem we hear you
Now we come with one accord

We want to see the stones
That took the prophets lives
To see the place where Jesus died
The ground on which he was crucified
Reaching out to each of us
With healing in His hands-Jesus saves

Ahead of us the gates have stood
So many years they’ve testified
Evil men have ruled this place
One day soon the King returns
Jerusalem will live again
The place the great King rules

Listen as they testify
The hills sing of His love
Look and see the sky above
It waits for His return
Speak to me Lord Jesus
Heal my broken life

Let me be your mouthpiece
And tell of your love for me
I’m willing to live my life
So that others might be free
Speak through me
My life belongs to you

Sacrifices one and all
Pagans worshipped here
Holy Headland by the Egyptians
Even the Romans came
Elijah faced the Baalist
They were so extreme

Cried out to their idols
They were on the pot
Elijah challenged their ethics
God disrupted their plot
Elijah wet the wood
The Father sent the fire

Muhraqa are you listening?
The world has moved
Divine Lord has visited you
Creator Christ has touched
This world we love so much
Letting us know He loves

This is not the final place
We are covered by His grace
Every day is new
The Father will see us through
Even when we fail
His love will prevail

Stand up to your evil
Give the Lord your heart
Let Him have your weakness
Surrender your plans
Serve Him with zest
And Christ will live through you

Enter through the Gate of the Wind
Into a place where pilgrims have been
For many thousand years
Why would Jesus come here?
A pagan place for godly retreat
Yet Jesus spoke with living men
The Father crowned Him for them
“My beloved Son”

What can we learn?
So much to know
Moses and Elijah living
It appears so
They were there with Jesus
Talking of the way
The Father would soon lead Him
The cross was the only way

The Father has a plan
Extending out to us
His plan includes our service
To those that we see
Telling of the Gospel
Jesus alive in me
Equipping me for service
Reminding me I’m free

We know the truth
Jesus is Lord
We count
Others do too
The Lord of all is concerned for all
Calling us to tell them
Do not forget their need
Heaven will be pleased

They have free choice
We must tell
Then the Holy Spirit
Will lead them out from hell
Straight to the Savior
The price is prepaid
If they reach for Jesus
Salvation will be complete

Purple from the sea snails
Dor was a popular place
Created wealth for merchants
Making plain cloth great

Thirty thousand sea snails
For just 3 grams of dye
The cost was near a fortune
Their wealth would never die

Dor is no more
It didn’t last long
Their wealth evaporated
Now others sang their song

Just like life
It comes and goes so quick
Hard to make a living
Wealth goes very quick

Money, monied people
Man’s measure is all wrong
The measure of one’s true wealth
Are things that won’t be gone

No one can take away
Anything we give
The more we give the more we get
Life is designed that way

How to be a rich
Give all you have
Give to others gladly
Wealth will grow in you

They aren’t smart
They don’t know
Tomorrow is a brand new show
Unless all ends today

They aren’t smart
They say they are great
A common cold
Can end their fake

They aren’t smart
Look at us
Wonderfully made
So complex, us

They aren’t smart
To rail at God
Life is short
Evil isn’t fun

They aren’t smart
Life is hard
Confusing things
Track our lives

Humility declares its heart
It loves God
And serves mankind
Aware that life is not kind

Humility lives
Ready to go
Tomorrow is not promised
We may join the show

All is Christ
Christ is all
Humble is smart
Life is not slow

Who’s the one that you can see?
He always has a plan
Even when we fail to see
His plan is in his hand

God is our creator
His hand is never seen
And yet He’s always working
On a plan for you and me

A plan that gives us perfection
Helping us to be
The very best at what we do
It gives us eyes that see

See the joy in others lives
Know that we have use
Filling up that hole inside
That pulls us to the Lord

His plan guides our journey
His plan keeps us safe
Close to the Father
Under Jesus precious grace

A plan of plans
That sees through the dark
Reaching to the future
Each moment blessing our heart

This is the day that the Lord hath made
His plan was made for us
So that daily we’d have victory
Living with the Lord in us

Galilee I love you
Clean and pretty
Green and blue
Smelling sweet for me
Let’s stay here and work

Come He said
We must go
Down dusty roads
Through the land
Walking to Jerusalem

Jericho first
Heal some folks
I’m moving quick
I have my cloak
The time has come to go

Up to Jerusalem
Where the prophets died
On the Mount of Olives
The people cried
Blessed is the King

Hysteric leaders
Hatred thick
Plan concocted
Christ must die
Let’s do it this week

Palm Sunday glorified
The king would die
But victory lurked within
In seven days it all played out
God created victory and Christ is alive

Riding on the Golan
Looking down below
How did Israelis?
Let this place go

So many vineyards
Mines everywhere
Hermon pouring water
To users down below

Rocks thrown from heaven
Volcanos roamed then
A special land of richness
Filled with precious strength

Riding through the Golan
Druze everywhere
Now it’s all peaceful
People don’t care

What can we do?
Impossible it seems
Don’t give those people
The Golan dream

So much important
So hard to know
Look to the Bible
To see where it goes

As we face a problem
Especially impossible ones
Give it to Jesus
The thing will be done

Jesus Christ will answer
“Here are the steps to go”
Follow His leading
Obedience knows
