Pray For The Peace of Jerusalem

Our Father,
Who Art in Heaven,
How Wonderful and Magnificent is Your Most Holy Name!
For You Alone Are Worthy,
you Alone Are Holy,
You Alone Are The Most High!
Omnipotent,
Omniscient,
And Omnipresent,
You Know The End from the Beginning
and the Beginning from the End.

Let all that has been Concealed
Be Revealed.

Father, We Pray For The Peace Of Jerusalem,
According To Your Will and Promise.
We Pray That You Will Forgive The Sins
of Our Own Nation,
and Lead us all to Godly Repentance.
Create in Us Clean Hearts, Oh LORD,
and Renew a Right Spirit Within Us.

This we Pray Together,
As We Await Your Messiah,
Blessed Be He,
To Set Up His Kingdom,
And Make All Things Right.

God Bless America.

Pray For The Peace of Jerusalem

Isaiah 53:6

6 All we like sheep have gone astray; we have turned every one to his own way; and the Lord hath laid on him the iniquity of us all.

(King James Version)

______________________________________________

The next section of Handel's Messiah causes some humorous remarks from Vocal Students when we talk about Phrasing. "Where's the comma?" they ask. Alas there is no punctuation in the Hebrew Text, so the translation doesn't have any either. "We, like sheep, have gone astray" comes out as "We Like Sheep." After I let the student indulge in a bit of laughter, I patiently explain Isaiah 53, which sobers them up right away.

Here's The Link.

After singing the slow, tragic song based on Isaiah 53:5, the Chorus bursts into a whirling, overlapping chorus about sheep. It is startling, and almost foolish-sounding, as the voices swirl around and collide, much like a flock of very silly straying sheep. Just when you think it can't get any more chaotic, the chaos stops abruptly, and the mood changes drastically for the very last line...."And The LORD laid upon Him the iniquity of us all".

Although the "Hallelujah Chorus" is the most famous and beloved chorus from Handel's Messiah, this one (We, Like Sheep) is, in my opinion, a true gem of Musical Drama. Handel uses notes, rhythms, and harmonies to create the maelstrom of humanity, each going to his own way, trusting not in God, but in themselves, like a massive flock of stupid, unthinking, self-centered, straying sheep.

To this day, we use this analogy. We call the blind followers of This Present Darkness, "SHEEPLE."

Come and Pray For the Peace of Jerusalem, For Our FRiends in Need, For Persecuted Believers, and For Our Beloved Nation.

HAPPY NEW YEAR!

Psalm 100

A Psalm of thanksgiving.

1 Make a joyful noise to the Lord, all the earth.
2 Worship the Lord with gladness;
come into his presence with singing.

3 Know that the Lord is God.
It is he that made us, and we are his;*
we are his people, and the sheep of his pasture.

4 Enter his gates with thanksgiving,
and his courts with praise.
Give thanks to him, bless his name.

5 For the Lord is good;
his steadfast love endures for ever,
and his faithfulness to all generations.
