586, what a year, Babylon burns it down
If you're alive in 585
Enslaved under new crown
Jeremiah, looking back
Sees what once was royalty
Egypt flirted, then deserted
Hard lesson to learn on loyalty
Judah gone, exiled out
City now deserted
Royal once, now a dunce
From God their eyes averted
Look to Jesus, therefore
Since we’re so surrounded
Run you're race to see His face
Perfect faith He founded.
Lamentations 1:1
1 How deserted lies the city,
once so full of people!
How like a widow is she,
who once was great among the nations!
She who was queen among the provinces
has now become a slave.
Hebrews 12:1-2 (ESV)
1 Therefore, since we are surrounded by so great a cloud of witnesses, let us also lay aside every weight, and sin which clings so closely, and let us run with endurance the race that is set before us, 2 looking to Jesus, the founder and perfecter of our faith, who for the joy that was set before him endured the cross, despising the shame, and is seated at the right hand of the throne of God.
