Once a prophet pictured Israel
Once a prophet pictured Israel,
like a vineyard, overgrown,
no more fruitful, judged and broken,
left to ruin, overthrown.
In the tone hear disappointment
in the prophet’s call and cry,
seeing bloodshed wound his nation,
justice now a living lie.
Verses 3-4 follow
Tune: CROSS OF JESUS
Andrew Pratt (born 1948)
