Jephthah the judge,from Gilead he came,
With this difficult word found long-lasting fame-
For those upon the losing side
He devised a cunning plan,
Asking of his enemy,to pronounce it if they can
Note Full story -Judges 12:6
Dear God
In the sundry scatterness of truth
And the sultry pillage of the brute
Bind me up again
In swaddling rags
And burial ointment for the pain.
For through death
I shall approach my birth
Better than a resurrection
Of lilies
From the immortal bulb
Of only faith
Dear God
Let me be consumed in you.
in my heart you
reign as queen
purple haired goddess
with eyes of green
each orb emblazoned
with golden star
so much you give
so much you are
water in the desert
honey from the rock
solace to a hurting heart
the Balm of Gilead
rest when i grow weary
shelter from the storm
in times of drought-
refreshing rain
in days of famine-
a feast,? ?in ample store
all of these things
your love to me brings
all of these
and so much more
In Gilead he's the balm
That makes any sickness calm;
In Isreal he's the consolation
That restores all desolation.
In Judah he's the Lion
That keeps watch over Zion;
In Galilee he's the miracle founder
That makes Jerusalem wonder.
On earth he's the spring of salvation
That satisfies spiritual starvation.
He's the source of light
That gives all sight.
To me, he's the owner of my soul
That makes me whole;
He's my unfailing life giver
That floods my life with joy as river.
