Sing Now, All the Birds of the Earth
Join me linger in this sublime paradise
wafting breeze of serenity's freshness
breathed out by life-scented leaves
unaffected against ecologically-afflicting virus
while all the birds of the earth sing* now the triumph of Eden …
Let's replenish ourselves around divinely-blessed pastures
welcoming with provisions’ abundance
along birds serenading with healing victory songs
in their reverberating symphony, melodiously soothing
offering respite away from stressful pandemic angst…
Never should we resist promised land’s invitation
where all the birds of the earth sing now their peace-conquering hymn
as the lion and the lamb portray sweet friendship
midst fellow animals in partnership-bliss
exemplifying peace and restoration delight…
We yield ourselves by faith to Almighty God
whose gracious omnipotence prevails to grant our plea
of shielding His people against apathy’s destruction
ending hatred virulence under His compassionate rule, championing love
which all the birds harmoniously echo in their splendid choral rendition.
*Isaiah 49:13 Sing, O heavens; and be joyful, O earth; and break forth into singing, O mountains: for the LORD hath comforted his people, and will have mercy upon his afflicted.
