Pray For the Peace of Jerusalem
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.
Blessings To All Who Visit This Garden of Prayer.

Joining in prayer, left that other site, for all those who have turned to his/her own way. May we follow the Good Shepherd of our souls ... not the thief, wolf in sheep’s clothing.
Lifting up Israel, our beloved America, and all of God’s people, who hear His voice and know Him.
