If You’re Truely Wise …

Larry Norman wrote and released this in 1971.  I believe no truer words could be spoken today in light of all the activity between Isreal and Hamas.  Consider the words as you listen to the music from this passed away sage.

PeacePollutionRevolution (from the album Streetlevel, circa 1971)

 

The word is revolution, but no one’s fired a shot,
Each side has its battle plans and a million counterplots.
And the world is closely watching as we near the battle line
But if you’re truly wise you’ll keep your eyes on Palestine.

The water is polluted and the air is filled with death
Someday it won’t be easy to stop and catch your breath
It’s all in Revelations, it part of the design
And if you’re truly wise you’ll keep your eyes on Palestine.

Ba, ba, ba, ba…

I marched for peace in Washington when things were getting hot,
I gave blood in Chicago, went anemic on the spot.
I would have hitchhiked to Toronto, but it’s all a waste of time
So I’m writing down this song for you
To sing and pass along to you
And if you’re truly wise you’ll keep your eyes on Palestine.

Ba, ba, ba, ba… revolution.
Ba, ba, ba, ba… peace and pollution.
Ba, ba, ba, ba… tribulation.
Ba, ba, ba, ba…

 

I am not one to be wildly prophetic in any sense of the word, I tend to keep silent more than anything, but today’s news has my heart thinking what God still has in plan for Isreal, and what prayers we need to raise for them, for Hamas, and for peace.
