CAN YOU HEAR?

Barry Green Jr 1973 (Florida)



CAN YOU HEAR?

Can you hear the shout from Zion?
Hear the roar of Judah's Lion
The King who you've been defyin'
Bow your head , no more denyin

Do you hear the rattling bones
A music with eerie tones
Don't you feel the earth groans
Kings abandon dissolving thrones

Do you see the signs of the age?
They're jumping from the Bible's page
All around us the demons rage
Michael readys the devil's cage

Can you taste sins bitter curse
 Every day it's getting worse
Seems the only relief is a hearse
Hope collapses and life is terse

Can you Hear the Lion's roar?
It's shaking us all to the core
Poor devil, this ain't a war
You're bound forever more
AMEN

    My memory is not as good as it once was…I seem to have forgotten two mentions of days…One was the number of days from the abomination of desolation standing etc…And the other was about 8,000 and something days…Oh well…Maybe it is really of no significance…
