" I Walked In The Courtyard Of The Temple, Amongst The Olive Trees "
..........................................................................
Wake up from your drunken stupor and lethargy
God is not dead or mocked
He walks amongst us today
Your time of dallying is over
Dance and sing with flutes and timbrels of joy
Before the sinking sun sets on you
Rejoice and be glad in the Redeemer
Taste and see that he is good
Thy Mercy endureth for ever
His barns are overflowing with riches
And the windows to Heaven are flung open wide
The Day of the Lord is at hand
Seek him while he still can be found
He searches the hearts and loins of men
Nothing is hid from his all seeing gaze
His Rod and Staff are our comfort
The Good Shepherd takes care of his Flock
Give praise in Redemption's Song
Oh listen to the sound of his Angels
Singing and chanting their heavenly refrain
At the gates of the Celestial City
And Peter holds the Keys to the Kingdom
Where all tears are wiped from your eyes
And broken hearts are mended at once
All Promises are honoured in full
And the Lame dance like gazelles
The Blind see again with their eyes
Lepers are healed and restored
Rows of Saints and Martyrs in white
My Soul sing the praises of the Beloved
Before the Ark of the Covenant
As I stand in the Presence of the Awesome One

God is not dead or mocked
He walks amongst us today
Your time of dallying is over
I need to hear that as an alarm till it sinks in.
It's like an OT prophet yelling..
Superb Peter it really is..
Thank You Peter for this strong shoulder to lean on!!

Where all tears are wiped from your eyes
And you, Peter, have penned another gem.
