build a watchtower; feel alive again

on the HUNT today

with Lions

does the clay say to the potter

what are you making
does the ax raise itself above him who swings it

stars and heavens 
  for you
come alive again: hello hello
come alive
    my loved one
feeling alive again
   my love


plant a vineyard
on a fertile hillside
   look for the good grapes
   tell the clouds to rain on it
  this is the vineyard
  i am giving you
this is the new vineyard
in your new house 


and, i am giving it to you
  to feel alive again


look for justice in the vineyard
   yeild only good grapes
yeild a crop of righteousness


this is DECLARED in my hearing
today:

rise early in the morning

stay up late at night

play tambourines flutes harps and lyres

only work with 

your hands

and, in vineyards

your whole head was injured

your whole heart was afflicted

carry the stones 

from the failed gardens

from the soles of your feet

to the top of your head

work in your new vineyard

with your hands

new hands

everyday

from sunrise

to sunset

work in your new vineyard

come to life

come alive

again,

you had only wounds and welts

and scars

with open sores

you had not cleaned or bandaged

your body

you had wounds for the entire world to see

you had not covered your injuries

they were not soothed with oils 

you were an oak with fading leaves,

like a garden without water

come alive again,

become a live oak again.

be mighty

and show your spark again.

no one will quench your fire

hold me up

you will be held high

for the world to see it

both will burn together,

burn brightly

if you are alive again

hold me up

me up 

me up me up

you were created

because you will be lifted up

high up

for all to see

like the flame and the fire

like the spark

you never lost

come alive

come alive

come alive,

do not grow tired or weary

increase your power 

you are not weak

those who have hope

will renew their strength

they will soar on wings like eagles;

they will run and not grow weary,

they will walk and not be faint.

listen and hear my voice;

pay attention and hear what i say.

spread out your hands

like a swimmer spreads out his hands to swim

 in this day this song will be sung

in the land

in Los Angeles 

we have a strong city

open the gates

that that the righteous may enter

the nation that keeps faith

you will keep in peace

you whose mind is steadfast

because he trusts in you,

trust

forever

in the Rock

eternal
