Henrietta Dubb's Diary
Angels, Poetry and Hope - 2
When John was born there was a party; some were calling the baby Zach II. Zach I reached for his writing tablet: "His name is John, God's beloved!" Holding it up for all to see, his voice returned.

You might think we are changing A tradition true and tried And well you may be speechless Like me whose tongue was tied |
For I argued with the angel When God's news he gave to me. His name's John - and I'm not asking; That's just how it's going to be! |
Well, the family was dumbstruck as a matter of fact but they listened to Zach's song which he had composed during Lizzie's confinement.

Three cheers give for God Almighty, Israel's Lord hip-hip hooray! He has come and kept us safe Watches us from day to day. Three cheers give for God Almighty Israel's Lord hip-hip hooray! He has promised full protection David's house has come to stay. Three cheers give for God Almighty Israel's Lord hip-hip hooray! Spoken clearly by the prophets Helping us to walk His way Three cheers give for God Almighty Israel's Lord hip-hip hooray! Thwarting enemies who hate us Saving us from hands that slay Three cheers give for God Almighty Israel's Lord hip-hip hooray! His own promises remind us Mercy triumphs to this day! |
Three
cheers give for God Almighty Israel's
Lord hip-hip hooray! Abraham
God's oath heard it And
so we follow all the way. And
you child the Most High's prophet Preparing
for the One to come Telling
all of God's own people That
means many, not just some Three
cheers give for God Almighty Israel's
Lord hip-hip hooray! As
forgiveness and salvation Poured
out on us and here to stay. A
new day dawns in God's own mercy Darkness
and death's fear repelled God
shall surely guide our footsteps The
way of peace He has upheld. |
