Hisrael! Poem by Denis Martindale

His purposes are well-defined
And Israel is the key
And why He keeps this land in mind
Throughout all history...
For Israel is the Lord's domain,
To do with as He will,
The nations seek a prize to gain,
Yet He is watching still...
And mighty is the hand that moves
And stirs the souls of men
And guides a million horses' hooves
To march nearby again...
So much for words of prophecy,
That may seem too sublime,
But God observes Man's destiny,
Each day, ahead of time...
Thus nothing happens to surprise,
No secrets stay ignored,
From Him and His eternal eyes,
You see, He is the Lord...
So, when He warns, it helps to heed,
Sometimes to walk away,
Not ride upon each noble steed
Towards your judgement day...
The peaceful heart stays pure and calm,
The cold heart strives for war,
The humbled heart is saved from harm,
The proud heart beats no more...
His purposes are well-defined
And Israel is the key
And why He keeps this land in mind
Throughout all history...
