Watchers
While the outsiders try to bring peace
But we only watch the battles come and go
The fighting will never cease
The children upon the West Banks
Peer out of the shadows of death
Reliving what their ancestors lived
As though breathing their very own breath
Footsteps of the soldiers
Firing of the tanks
Upon the mighty West Banks
A land divided by anger and hate
Surely must someday fall
Yet we strive to bring the peace
As they seek to rebuild the temple wall
Oh Holy land of Bethlehem
Where You came to us as a man
Remind us you have not forgotten
That You will come to us again
Our world is gaining speed
Rapidly approaching its demise
Yet we are so consumed
And many forget You paid the price
The bloodshed that never ends
The
sorrow that drowns the soul
Pain on top of pain
Burning the bridges as we
pay the toll
Foolish people scurrying about
Like ants to and
fro
Never knowing what the hurry is for
Or why they even come and
go
Soon the chaos will be silenced
By the mighty sound
Your angels
will blow upon their trumpets
As the bodies rise from beneath the
ground
And the fools will watch
With their unbelieving eyes
Fear
will set in
For those who were not wise
The ants will scurry
about
The watchers will await
Our eyes upon Israel
We know its coming
fate
No peace in Israel
Until You walk its streets
Someday..
there..
they will fall at Your feet.
Oh Israel
Holy land of
war
This is the last that you will endure
The sky tells you more than you
know
It was there a long time ago
Visions become reality
As we
watch satan's brutality
Watchers we are
From both near and far
The
time is coming soon...
