Who Has Heard the Like of This

Inquire of the years of old
Since Yah first started to create
Search long–as far as heaven’s breadth
Has e’er there been a Word so great?

Has any other nation heard
The voice of Yah amidst the flame
Or seen the thund’ring, burning mount
As Yah the King of Glory came?

What nation saw such things, and lived
As Yah proclaimed His great commands?
What law compares to this Torah?
What other law forever stands?

Has any other god come down
To set a captive nation free?
They saw His wonders, signs, and plagues
His outstretched hand that split the sea

What other nation has survived
Millennia of war and hate?
What nation has a god who fights
With miracles and zeal so great?

What nation has their god so close
As Yahweh is, whene’er we pray?
And who has heard the like of this?
Are nations born in just one day?

Who is like you, Israel
Both loved and saved by Yah, your shield?
Oh, Yahweh, there is none like You!
To You shall every nation yield

As one of Jehovah's witnesses I find this to be of mild interest, though I denote a political thread running through it. Are you a Jewish Christian? In any case, there is no literal nation on earth favored by God today. All stand in opposition (see Psalm 2; Revelation 19). Nice cadence and rhymes
