Love Message to the Jews from a

Christian


You people of Jerusalem, you've sinned against my Lord,
You wounded Him, you pierced Him by cross and curse of word:
"His blood be on our children" you cried, and then He died.
He died for you, He died for me, in spite of all our pride.

Jesus is Jehovah, but that you did not know
The day you hung Him on a cross. You have been very slow
To recognize the triune God, our God who's your God too;
Father, Son, and Spirit is your Jehovah true.

You people of Jerusalem, Isaiah foretold how
The sin of yours in killing Him is doubly paid for now.
Your warfare now is ended, for Jesus died for you
If only you'll acknowledge Him, He'll give you life anew.

Jerusalem, Jerusalem, your sins have been forgiven
Your warfare now is ended, and you can go to heaven.
The only thing you need do now is make Jehovah King,
The King of heaven, King of earth, the King of everything.

"Comfort ye My people" the Lord now says to me
"Jerusalem, Jerusalem - He wants to set you free!"
A Gentile, I, now speak God's words from Him to you today,
Please come to Him, and by His love He'll take the curse away.

The curse you placed upon yourself by killing God's dear Son
It is no longer valid when once these words you've sung:
"I give my heart to Jesus, I give myself to Him,
I'll love and serve Him always, for He's Jehovah King."

Today we Gentiles, we repent, for we are guilty too,
We've denied Him boldly, and had little love for you.
We too have crucified our Lord, and we are filled with shame,
We now repent, and join with you to glorify His Name.

So as the day grows closer now for Jesus to return,
We hold your hand, and understand how God has helped you learn
The truth that Your Jehovah is Jesus Christ our Lord,
The One who's your Messiah is our true and living Word.
