A New Covenant

Jeremiah 30:1-31:40

[Movement I] Write the promise beside the wound, The yoke will break though the night comes soon. Rachel may weep where the children are gone, A new covenant, not ink alone, [Movement II] But markers are set on the road leading home. No borrowed saying will carry the blame, Each soul will answer and each may know the Name. The law will be written where the heart has grown. [Movement III] The incurable wound meets the Healer’s word, The streets hear dancing where mourning was heard. From least unto greatest, no stranger to grace, Sin is forgiven and no longer rehearsed. [Bridge] As moon and stars keep their appointed part, The city is rebuilt and the word enters the heart. [Coda] A new covenant, not ink alone, The law will be written where the heart has grown. As moon and stars keep their appointed part, The city is rebuilt and the word enters the heart.
