“I always like to sing everything that is said. Especially if it’s something we need to be reminded of every day. In God’s eyes, we’re more like ‘Desserts’ than ‘Deserts’. I’m very glad I could share this new 'spiritual’ in the prisons in Vught, Utrecht, Zeist and Almere. Who would have guessed Israel ánd all of us could still party on an ancient quote by Isaiah?
lyrics
(Music and lyrics by Paul Cherryseed)
CHORUS
You shall no more be called forsaken
Your land shall no more be called desolate
But you be My delight of Eden
And the land the married Beulah
So shall the Lord rejoice over Judah & the wedding guests
O, and as the young man marries a virgin
So shall your sons marry your light
And as the bridegroom finds peace in the bride
So will God be glad ‘bout all that enter in
CHORUS
O, and as the watchmen keep sound on the walls
So shall you breathe your uplifting Word
And so the watchmen will sing what they heard
O God, we’ll unite for barriers to fall
CHORUS
