Lyrics · Isaiah
The Letter before the LORD
Isaiah 36:1-37:38
[Watchman]
The voice below the wall made fear sound wise,
It named every fallen god and rehearsed every lie.
Spread the letter before the LORD,
[Answer]
No answer from the battlement, only torn cloth in the hall,
Then a king crossed the temple with a letter and a call.
Let the boast meet the Maker it scorned.
[Watchman]
Not for our name, not for our throne,
Show all kingdoms that You alone are God.
The proud hook was turned in the conqueror’s jaw,
[Answer]
The road of invasion became the road home.
By morning the camp held no song and no sword,
The remnant took root by the word of the LORD.
[Bridge]
A paper of terror lay silent on stone,
One prayer outlived an empire’s tone.
[Final Chorus]
Spread the letter before the LORD,
Let the boast meet the Maker it scorned.
A paper of terror lay silent on stone,
