My thoughts are not your thoughts nor are your ways my ways says the LORD. As the heavens are higher than the earth so are my ways higher than yours. Isa: 55:9
"Many, O LORD my God, are your wonderful works which you have done, and your thoughts which are towards us: they cannot be counted up in order to you: if I would declare and speak of them, they are more than can be numbered." Psalms:40:5 This is what my music is all about.

Story behind the song
God's heart is broken over what has befallen His chosen people and His chosen city of Jerusalem but He has promised not to leave them desolate forever. He is only waiting to hear their welcoming words for Him to return.
Lyrics
Oh Jerusalem You shall not see me until I hear you say; Oh how blessed is He who comes in the name of the Lord Oh Jerusalem, Jerusalem who kills the prophets oh Jerusalem, Jerusalem and stones those sent to you How Ive wanted to gather your children as King Like a hen with her chicks sheltered under her wings But you wouldnt let me (no you threw me out) So behold you are desolate (because of your doubt) And you shall not see me until I hear you say; Oh how blessed is He who comes in the name of the Lord Oh Jerusalem, Jerusalem who kills the prophets oh Jerusalem, Jerusalem and stones those sent to you Nearly two thousand years you have wandered the Earth Awaiting Messiah not seeing my birth In my anger I cursed you and left you alone Now soon I will heal you and set up my throne But you shall not see me until I hear you say; Oh how blessed is He who comes in the name of the Lord Oh Jerusalem, Jerusalem who kills the prophets oh Jerusalem, Jerusalem and stones those sent to you Lyrics based mostly upon Matthew 23:37-39 Music: Eric Randall
