NOTHING BUT A SIMPLE VOICE CRYING IN THE WILDERNESS
A Stone Crying Out
A Continuation of the Four Part Harmony, 'Christmas
Eve and Other Days of Hypocrisy'
(Written on "Christmas", 1998)
I'm nothing but a stone crying out
Just like The Word said
Though I'm not right with God myself
I can't keep silent
I've got to tell the Truth
Even though I'm such a bad example
And don't live what I preach
So that all I can do is ask you to please
Forgive me for not being a pure instrument or channel
To allow God's Truth to pour through
The earthly, unsanctified stones are now crying out
Because not enough are speaking nothing but the Pure Truth
That "when (Jesus the Christ) came close...
The whole multitude of disciples began to rejoice
And praise God with a loud voice for all the mighty works
That they (have) seen;
Saying, 'Blessed be the King that comes in the name of the Lord:
Peace in heaven, and glory in the highest.' (Ps. 118:26)
And some of the Pharisees, From among the multitude said to Him,
Master, stop your disciples. And He answered and said to them,
"'I TELL YOU THAT, IF THESE SHOULD KEEP QUIET,
THE STONES WOULD IMMEDIATELY CRY OUT'"!
[Luke 19:37-40. (Emphasis added.)]
