Images of Zion*
1.
If I
were a poet strange and hip
I’d liken Zion to the best cod and chips;
Once it swam in the depths of the sea,
And grew in the ground hidden away from me,
I didn’t find it, it found me
It arrived on a plate by an act of grace
All golden and white
It was love at first bite
2.
We were the colours
that couldn’t be blended
Stuck in a search that
might never have ended
But for the grace of
God
Me and you just
wouldn’t have a clue..........
But now we are the
rainbow random medley of colours
All distinct, all
complementing each other
To make something
beautiful.
And where this rainbow
touches the earth
There is the pot of gold
As we show this
covenant kingdom
And bring its riches to
the poor.

The orchestra is playing
beautifully
Seated neatly ,harmonies reaching
heaven
Then the trumpets blow loud
and mad
The players start stamping and
hopping jumping and popping
The rhythm goes crazy and the
chords aren’t right
But it all sounds amazing
As it blows into the night
Strange dissonance and harmony
Reaching into heaven
Its kind of
Jazz funk baroche punk
classical rock thrash mash gospel
And more!
And when it all goes quiet you
know
There is room for
you in the score
4.
Diamonds are
forever-
Until they get
nicked
And a girl’s best
friend as long as she’s rich
But drop them and
they shatter
Like the dreams
they pitch
But there is a
jewel.......
It glows with a
rich red light
Light from heaven
on earth
The blood of God come
as man
This jewel is
forever and it can not be stolen
Friend of the poor
and humble
It can never be
broken
Its dreams come
true
And the gates of
hell shall not prevail
