Israel
Psalm 132:13-14 New English Translation (NET Bible)
13 Certainly the Lord has chosen Zion;
he decided to make it his home.
14 He said, “This will be my resting place forever;
I will live here, for I have chosen it.
Israel can never loose with God on its side
It surely may suffer setbacks because of disobedience
Israel won’t be loved by the worldly bright
And few in heaven care about their hardened conscience
The world in darkness seems lost in its own conception
They feel so at home here that they want us all to join in
An invitation they force down our throats without exception
If you don’t accept the ways they want you dead deep within
One cannot argue or debate their self-formed opinion
After a while, it gets seared in their darkened hearts
Traveling at full speed on the highway to destruction
Ignoring the faded warning signs right from the start
They offer a free ride to all who’ll go with them
Somewhere along the way, there is a price to pay
Hungering for freedom that will enslave them
For true freedom comes to them who die to self every day
