| Israel Born a new nation, in forty-eight, Israel, small but strangely great, Is watched by the world, again and again, As if some climax in history related to them. Isn�t it strange that because of a babe Born in a manger, in Bethlehem laid, Time was divided forevermore; A.D. and B.C., aft and before? How sad to think you held in you hand God�s only Son, the Savior of man, And never knew, no never knew, That God had come to visit you. Israel, you are only a speck! Our nation is great and, yet in respect, I watch 'God�s chosen' and pray that we, Together, might watch for our coming King! � 2003 by Joan Clifton Costner http://underhiswings0.tripod.com/ The stone which the builders rejected, has become the Cornerstone! |
