Shake the Dust

Shake the Dust People have called me crazy For believing in you They've called me all the names Yeah, called me crazy too They've rolled their eyes Shook their head Like an empty chair Not hearing a word I've said I shake the dust The dirt and the mud Cause Yeshua He runs in my blood Do people's hand not tremble At His voice and His sound Have they no feeling Do their hearts not pound? Do I, speak another language My words not clear How is it their eyes do not see How do their ears not hear? I shake the dust Dirt and the mud Cause, Yeshua You run in my blood Financial understanding Without seeing the price Gambling Their lives away With a toss of the dice The toss of the dice Have they no knowledge Of the Sacrifice you gave Is my speech so vain As if to a stone on a grave A stone on a grave I shake the dust Dirt and the mud Cause, Yeshua You run in my blood Shake the dust The dirt and the mud Oh, Yeshua I remember the blood Your blood

Sure is amazing when people don't feel the power and glory of God, but perhaps, they are just asleep, or have forgotten how. JUST LOVE YOUR FAITH! Great Poem!
