Psalm 122, a Psalm of Ascent, the Holy Bible [ESV]
I was glad when they said to me,"Let us go to the house of the LORD!"
Our feet have been standing within your gates, O Jerusalem!
Jerusalem—built as a city that is bound firmly together,to which the tribes go up,the tribes of the LORD, as was decreed for Israel, to give thanks to the name of the LORD.
There thrones for judgment were set,the thrones of the house of David.
Pray for the peace of Jerusalem!
"May they be secure who love you!
Peace be within your walls and security within your towers!"
For my brothers and companions’ sake I will say, "Peace be within you!"
For the sake of the house of the LORD our God, I will seek your good.
AMEN!
"How Should a KING Come?" Written by Carol and Jimmy Owens, the lyrics, Y'all!
"How should a King come.
Even a child knows the answer of course,
In a coach of gold with a pure white horse.
In the beautiful city in the prime of the day,
And the trumpets should cry and the crowds make way.
And the flags fly high in the morning sun,
And the people all cheer for the sovereign one.
And everyone knows that's the way that it's done.
That's the way that a King should come.
How should a King come.
Even a commoner understands,
He should come for His treasures,
And His houses and lands.
He should dine upon summer strawberries and milk,
sleep upon bedclothes of satin and silk.
And high on a hill His castle should glow,
With the lights of the city like jewels below.
And everyone knows that's the way that it's done,
That's the way that a King should come.
How should a King come.
On a star filled night into Bethlehem,
Rode a weary woman and a worried man.
And the only sound in the cobblestone street,
Was the shuffle and the ring of their donkey's feet.
And a King lay hid in a virgin's womb,
And there were no crowds to see Him come.
At last in a barn in a manger of hay,
He came and God incarnate lay.
And the angels cried "Glory Glory to God".
Earth was silent so heaven rang,
"Glory Glory to God."
Men were dumb so the angels sang,
"Glory Glory to God,
Peace on earth good will to men,
Glory Glory to God".
AMEN!
