Pray For the Peace of Jerusalem
Our Father in Heaven,
Magnified and Sanctified is Your Most Holy Name!
Hallowed and Holy,
Righteous and Just,
Overflowing With Goodness and Perfection!
As We Ascend the Next Step in Your Songs of Degrees,
We Are Reminded Once Again of Your Ultimate,
Eternal, Everlasting, Perfect,
Faithfulness to Your Promises,
And the Infallibility and Immutability of Your Holy Word!
1. When the LORD brought back the captivity of Zion,
We were like those who dream.
2. Then our mouth was filled with laughter,
And our tongue with singing.
Then they said among the nations,
“The LORD has done great things for them.”
3. The LORD has done great things for us,
And we are glad.
4. Bring back our captivity, O LORD,
As the streams in the South.
Is There Anything Too Difficult For You, Oh LORD?
You, Who Created The Galaxies,
The Great Star Clusters,
The Black Holes and Singularities?
You, Who Knit me together in the Secret Place of my mother's womb?
You, Who Devised and Designed the Intricate DNA of every living thing,
Each One Unique, After its Kind?
Can a Nation Be Born in a Day?
Can a People be Gathered From the Four Corners of the Earth?
Can an Ancient Language be revived and used every day for commerce and living?
Can a People defend themselves against an entire hostile planet and survive?
If YOU say it is so,
It Is So.
5. Those who sow in tears
Shall reap in joy.
6. He who continually goes forth weeping,
Bearing seed for sowing,
Shall doubtless come again with rejoicing,
Bringing his sheaves with him.
We Pray For the Peace of Jerusalem,
According To Your Word.
We Pray That Those Who Sow in Tears,
Shall Reap in Joy,
According To Your Promise.
We Pray For Our Own Nation,
That You will Restore Honor, Dignity, and Prosperity,
According to Your Will.
Blessings To All Who Visit This Garden of Prayer.
Hallelujah and Amen
