an angel messenger – v2

an answer was given by God
to the fervent prayer of Daniel
an angel messenger was sent
to God’s faithful servant

an answer was given
carried down from heaven
a prophecy to the end of the age
to the Final Judgment to come.

an answer was given – 2 – v2

an answer was given by God
hearing Daniel in his anguish
in his tribulations
fallen to his knees
an angel was sent
from the courts of heaven
to speak a word of comfort
that God heard his prayer

an answer was given by God
to his fervent prayer
an angel messenger was sent
to God’s faithful servant
an answer was given
sent down from heaven
a prophecy to the end of the age
to the Final Judgment to come

They sang – v2

they sang in thanksgiving
for God’s protection of them;
God opened their way
through the sea

they sang a song
about God’s mercy;
saving God’s people
granting them their freedom

they sang for joy
because God saved them;
their enemies drowned
buried in the seas

losing everything – v2

Like the scribes, the Pharisees
those in power
risking so much
losing everything
in holding onto power

In denying their poverty
their distance from God
holding on so tightly
to their positions, their power,
but losing their lives

Blindness of the Pharisees – v2

Those who studied the law
who should be able to read the signs;
the blindness of the Pharisees
denying He was the Christ.

Seeking to kill the Messiah
the One who was foretold;
attempting to hold onto power
not true sheep of His flock.

False teachers, robbers
leading the sheep astray;
lost, their guilt remaining,
because they claim to see.

Denying the signs before them
unable to believe, to see Jesus;
the Messiah, Emmanuel
God here with us.
