Hearken

Hearken and give ear to the words I share.
Awake, Awake stand up straight with the Lord.
With fear continuously, you've been floored.
You've seen the fury of your captors snare.

Rejoice and Lift up your head forever.
For He'll bestow blessings on your offspring.
As Creator he saw need as a thing.
He died and suffered, this plan is clever. 

Infinite, It covers all without end,
Suffered all pains  and resurrection wrought.
However hearken not and you'll gain naught.
With His mercy and grace to all it'll mend.

The way is narrow and straight before you.
Christ is the gatekeeper. Choose to come through.

Jacob Awake

Hearken and give ear to me
Awake, Awake on your knee.
Infinite covers without end,
His mercy and grace is to mend.
With no law nothing is punished
His atonement covers the finish.
Fight against Zion and you shall perish.
Accept the Christ and you will cherish.
We didn't know who's this Savior
The Angel said he'd change behavior.

A Father's Promise as my Soul Delighteth

A Father's Promise as my Soul Delighteth

Now fruit of the loins of Joseph will write,
And fruit of the loins of Judah will print.
Another Joseph will place his thumbprint.
He'll bring them together, make them grow bright.

Made strong, out of weakness that will strengthen.
Shall bring forth by the Lord's hand and power.
Work done restoring and much willpower.
Brings the Lord's people unto salvation.

Now, Are you the one who will be mighty?
Doing much good in both word and in deed.
Create exceeding faith formed from a seed.
Do things great in the sight of Almighty.

For their words shall proceed as you do speak.
Cry from the dust, Repent, make strong from weak.

Hunger and thirsting for what I don't know.
Searching their words and ponder them each day.
Wretched man, I am, that I must pray.
My iniquities have caused me much woe.

My heart does now groan because of my sins.
I desire to rejoice in whom I've trust.
He fills me with love, as I do adjust.
Confound enemies quaking in their limbs.

My cries heard by day with visions at night. 
Shall I yield to sin, because of my flesh?
Raise my sight up, my vision to refresh.
Why should my heart weep with such a great light.

Awake, my soul! No longer droop in sin.
Rejoice, O my heart, and never give in.

Jacob Awake

Jacob's Awake

Hearken and give ear to the words I share.

Awake, Awake stand up straight with the Lord.

With fear continuously, you've been floored.

You've seen the fury of your captors snare.

Rejoice and Lift up your head forever.

For He'll bestow blessings on your offspring.

As Creator he saw need as a thing.

He died and suffered, this plan is clever. 

Infinite, It covers all without end,

Suffered all pains  and resurrection wrought.

However hearken not and you'll gain naught.

With His mercy and grace to all it'll mend.

The way is narrow and straight before you.

Christ is the gatekeeper. Choose to come through.
