The Man In the Middle

Turn around go back down
Back the way you came
Can’t you see that flash of fire
10 times brighter than the day
And behold a mighty city
Broken in the dust again
Oh God, pride of man
Broken in the dust again

Turn around go back down
Back the way you came
Babylon is laid to waste
Egypt’s buried in her shame
Their mighty men are all beaten down
Their kings are all fallin’ in the ways
Oh God, pride of man
Broken in the dust again

Turn around go back down
Back the way you came
Terror is on ever sign
Though our leaders are dismayed
All those who place their faith in fire
In fire their fate shall be repayed
Oh God, pride of man
Broken in the dust again

Turn around go back down
Back the way you came
And shout a warning to the nation
That the sword of God is raised
Yes, Babylon backed by it’s city
Rich in treasure wide in fame
Oh God, pride of man
Broken in the dust again

And it shall cause your tower to fall
Make of you a pyre of flame
Oh, you who dwell on many waters
Rich in treasure wide in fame
You bow unto your, your god of gold
Your pride of might shall be a shame
For only God can lead his people
Back unto the earth again
Oh God, pride of man
Broken in the dust again

The holy mountain be restored
Have mercy on the people
The people
Lord

    We are indeed saved by good works. Very good works, perfect good works, His!

    Wish I’d written this:

    There is a Man on the cross.

    Whenever there is silence around me
    By day or by night –
    I am startled by a cry,
    It came down from the cross –
    The first time I heard it,
    I went out and searched –
    And found a Man in the throes of crucifixion,
    And I said, “I will take You down,”
    And I tried to take the nails out of His feet,
    But He said, “Let them be
    For I cannot be taken down
    Until every man, every woman, and every child
    Come together to take Me down.”
    And I said, “But I cannot bear Your cry.
    What can I do?”
    And He said, “Go about the world –
    Tell everyone that you meet –
    There is a Man on the cross.”

    There is no God without the cross. Only Jesus could save the thief next to Him and the Roman soldier who executed Him–truly this was the Son of God. Hallelujah what a Savior!
