Profane Fire

So, study the Scriptures
Of men’s motives and methods
For what the LORD seeks
To be used, as His vessel.

Over six million Jews
In Europe were slain
Sadistically murdered
Causing mayhem and pain.

The mystery of history
The Jew still remains
Preserved, indestructible
Despite sorrow and pain.

For You call me to partner
In Your image I’m made
To pray without ceasing
And see lives, remade.

On this ‘Feast of First Fruits’
A burnt and grain offering
Foreshadowing Messiah
And His people, following.

How God frees from bondage
All those, captive to sin
Jesus’ blood, our atonement
To cleanse of leaven, within.

Our motives so matter
To take, or to give
Self-serving, or God’s glory
For what do we live?

As we worship our King
No distractions, nor despair
No trials, nor temptations
All perfect splendor, forever there.

Though God has chastised
They faced every threat
But His Covenant people
He does not forget.

Grew up with tradition
Lived under the Law
Rabbinical Judaism, Yiddish
Was the life that I saw.
