Israel Is A Jewel The Coveted Prize Poem by Terence George Craddock

Amen a wonderful
word Shalom definitely one
of the most wonderful
words in the entire universe

for those of us free
to live for peace
such wonderful blessings
with blessings comes

the responsibilities
of appreciation faith
love hope forgiveness

Israel is a jewel
the coveted prize
Israel born in struggle

worship sacrifice
of her beloved people
precious intelligent souls
surrounded by a sea of troubles

strangely without Israel
the world will wither
because for a time Israel
will remain a sacrificial lamb

for the sins of nations
for an entire world
but the miracle Israel

her persecuted people
will in judgement time
receive their blessings

and eternal peace
this knowledge is
written in the souls
of chosen prophets

written in the souls
of prophets the hearts
of precious believers
loving sanctified life

and even cursed people
still lost in the dark chains
of hate intolerance bigotry

Shalom to the fallen world
may we rise to love beauty in all life
Shalom Shalom Shalom
