Cries out for the city's peace

She offers the head of the man 

Who Joabs army seeks

On the first day
 God divided light from dark
 It was very good (Gen 1:4)
 His plan from the start

 He called the light day
And the dark he called night
They couldn't be together
 That wouldn't be right

 If you seek a country,
A heavenly one (Heb 11:10)
Built and made by God (Heb 11:14)
 Founded on the Son

 You will find yourself separate
 By others' choice
They don't want to listen
 Or hear God's voice

 Moses esteemed not
 The riches of Egypt (Heb 11:27)
He chose to suffer the reproach
 Instead of enjoying sin for a season

 In Hebrews 11
Men of faith are found
They were strangers and pilgrims
Not like others around (Heb 11:13)

 So what should you do?
 Children of the day?
 Put on love, faith, hope
And always WATCH and PRAY (1 Thess 5:8)

Through all your vain deeds? (I Peter 1:18)

 Do you draw near to God with your lips. (Matthew 15:8)
 While your heart is far away?
How do you spend your time?
 Do you always "watch and pray?"(Mark 13:33)

 and a new earth,
 Dwelling only righteousness within (2 Peter 3:13)

 Not trusting ourselves,
Or in things others said,
 But in Our Dear Lord,
Who raises the dead! (2 Cor 1:9)

There is a great conspiracy
 Against what your doing
Your wall has some breaches
And your temple is in ruins

 The enemy is watching
 And decides to hinder you
 You have rubbish all around
So much you can't see through

 Set a watch,Say a prayer
 Not just once a day
You need protection day and night
 To keep the enemy away

 Get a firm position
Right inside the wall
Keep your sword on your side
 With God you will not fall

 The Lord is great and terrible
The Bible shares his plan
 You must pick it up and read it
 Allow Him to strengthen your hands Nehemiah 4
