Jubilee

All creation’s groaning
All is yearning for the day
When Yah will come and conquer
When all sin is cast away

This fallen earth is longing
For the day when all’s made right
When righteousness and justice
Will break forth as morning light

My heart is also yearning
For the things that soon shall be
When Yah reveals His glory
In the year of Jubilee

All creation’s calling
All of heaven’s host proclaim
The greatness of our Savior
And they praise His mighty Name

Lo! The day is coming
Fierce and burning as a flame
When He returns, and shakes the earth
And nothing stays the same

Who could stand before Him?
I will fall on bended knee
Before the King of Glory
In the year of Jubilee

See the towns of Judah
How in solitude they wait
To see the King of Glory
Marching through the Eastern Gate

When my King’s returning
I know I will go there too
We’ll run to Zion’s mountain
And He’ll teach us what is true

Finally I’ll live there
In the land He’s promised me
At last I’ll have my portion
In the year of Jubilee

See the wars and fighting
All this means He’s coming back
And in His peaceful kingdom
No more nations will attack

In that day, the poor ones
All those humble and oppressed
Shall be raised up and rescued
For the King shall give them rest

In my home, near Zion
I will live, so full of glee
All men will live in freedom
In the year of Jubilee

Israel’s old cities
All are longing for the day
When they’ll be full of people
And their streets with children’s play

See the Land awaiting
When the captives will return
The day when all will know Him
And His Torah all shall learn

His great fame and glory
Shall spread forth like boundless sea
And all shall see salvation
In the year of Jubilee

Though the world is reeling
And the wicked seem to rise
With confidence, we’re waiting
Till He comes upon the skies

In the harshest trials
We will trust that they won’t last
One day, we’ll stand victorious
When the rule of sin is past

Though the world can’t see it
We believe what we don’t see
Our King will reign victorious
In the year of Jubilee

With the hosts of angels
We Your people plead and cry
“How long till You’ll show mercy?
Oh, how long till death will die?”

When will goodness triumph?
Please take heed how we’re oppressed
Have mercy, Lord, on Zion
And arise, Yah, to your rest

Come, our Lord Yeshua!
How we yearn and hope for Thee
Come take Your throne in Zion
In the year of Jubilee

I am a nineteen-year-old girl who loves to write, especially fiction. I write many stories and poems. I usually have a moral or lesson behind my writings, for I hope these stories and poems, which Yehovah (God) helped me to write, will glorify Him as I share them on this blog. Welcome to my blog and I hope you enjoy your stay!
