In the market place,
The Lord of All
Allowed a thief
to grab two baskets full
and run far away.
When the robber
got to his hiding place
he found he took figs.
One basket
had very good figs,
so good to eat,
Whom the Lord said
He sent out
for their own good.
The other
had very bad figs,
no one would eat,
Whom the Lord said
He drove out
to be a reproach.
Of the figs that tasted good,
The Lord of All
Said He would someday
bring them back and
plant them once again;
He would give them
a heart to know Him,
that He is God.
But of the figs
that tasted so bad,
He would scatter wide
And let their hearts
to be stones not thrown
far enough away.
Jeremiah 24 |
