Promise - Remember the Promise

Remember the Promise Garden gates slammed shut Tears of shame upon grieving cheeks Orphans looking back through barred gates Hear the promise – Messiah – Emmanuel. Remember the promise. Apocalyptic storm Contract to build a haven for life Sanctuary tossed upon fury driven waves Covenant in rainbows arching colors. Remember the promise! Dreams upon the desert Watch the morning pass to midnight Generations like stars beyond your sight Laughter swaddled in your arms. Remember the promise! A pledge of freedom From plagues and locusts sent Challenges footsteps to climb the sacred mountain I Am signature written in stone. Remember the Promise! Shepherd slinging stones Kings and giants give up their crowns To reign forever from generation to generation Man after the everlasting heart. Remember the promise! Promise never broken - Living breathing covenant Eternal promise in two nail scarred hands King and prophet - brother, friend. Remember the promise! 5/31/20 Contest: Promise
