The Language of Whistling - Zechariah 10: 8

The attributes of God are innumerable
they are indeed without number
nothing is too much for our God
who never sleeps nor will slumber

So the Lord calls His people
even with the sound of whistle
whistling through His wind
as effective as any Pauline epistle

For in God's redemption plan
an ingathering is on His agenda
to bring His people back in
for they are His no matter their gender

God's great love for His own
who are His redeemed elect
His purpose to rescue them
caused them to be in His debt

Divine purpose had a hand
in bringing those to be
equal number as were before
brought by God's grace so free

Next time you hear a whistle
remind yourself it's the divine origin
that through it came eternal redemption
such is God's victory over sin

AUTHOR NOTES: 
“I will whistle for them and gather them in,
   for I have redeemed them,
   and they shall be as many as they were before."

Zechariah ch 10 v. 8 (ESV)
