The Weeping and Wailing in the Wind

Bullets and bombs besiege battered Israel today 
Battles beget battles making the other side pay
Every morning only means more needless mourning
The weeping and wailing in the wind is a warning

       Israel, O Israel, Repent!
       Turn to the LORD for the LORD is your Enough
       Israel, O Israel, Repent!
       The LORD thy God longs to gather you up

Losing life for a little land seems crazy tonight
Even children are pressed in to revenge what's "right"
Every morning only means more needless mourning
The weeping and wailing in the wind is a warning

       Israel, O Israel, Repent!
       Turn to the LORD for the LORD is your Enough
       Israel, O Israel, Repent!
       The LORD thy God longs to gather you up

Unbelievable: utter destruction of terror targets today
Fighting foes find friends falling in the terrible fray
Every morning only means more needless mourning
The weeping and wailing in the wind is a warning

       Israel, O Israel, Repent!
       Turn to the LORD for the LORD is your Enough
       Israel, O Israel, Repent!
       The LORD thy God longs to gather you up

Israel, Hear O Israel [.......Hear, O Israel]
Your Messiah has come!
Israel, Hear O Israel [.......Hear, O Israel]
The LORD thy God is one
Israel, Hear O Israel [.......Hear, O Israel]
Jesus Christ is the One
Israel, Hear O Israel [.......Hear, O Israel]
Jesus Christ has won!

Every morning only means more needless mourning
The weeping and wailing in the wind is 
.......a warning
The weeping and wailing in the wind is 
.......a warning
       .......a warning
              .......a warning
