Euphrates

Valiantstar 1961 (Sydney)



Euphrates is
Receding
Prophet
Told
Kings
Nations
Uncovered
What will unfold?

Muhammed prophesied a mountain of gold.

Revelation   
Genesis,
Revealed
The
End
Also
 Jeremiah,
Had Prophesied

Bible foretold of its devastation.
Now uncovered
Idol of stone
Buried
Alive?

Now
They think
Wisdom is
Held in their site.

Some say they hold secrets etched in the stone.
The bible tells me that God took their throne.

Idol worship
Bring them down
Declared
God.

Now we people go walking that same old road.

Looking for the holy grail, they will fail.

Jehoshaphat
I will plead
With them
There

My
People
My heritage
Whom they scattered.

Armageddon
To my foes
All will
See.
