How Beautiful upon the mountains
Go now into all the world The Gospel must be preached For sitting down and reading books The lost will ne’er be reached.
The Gospel’s gone to all the world We’ve sailed the seas to tell The heathen masses of God’s love But what of Israel?
Beginning at Jerusalem This was our Lord’s command. To Judah and to Galilee Upheld by His great Hand.
But we’ve been frightened to go out Indifferent, dead and cold. We’re nothing like the early church On fire, live and bold
“Yad l’Achim* have brainwashed us That no one wants to know. They tell us that Moses we undermine And should pack up our bags and go.
But the Spirit of God is brooding now All over this ancient Land; The hearts of the people are being prepared For a move of His mighty Hand
The stony hearts He’ll take away And hearts of flesh He’ll give. He’ll put His Spirit within our hearts And the old dry bones will live.
So rise from your slumbers, children of God, Go forth and fight the foe. If we don’t tell them who Yeshua is How will the people know?
How beautiful upon the streets The feet of them that tell Glad tidings to this ancient Race Good news to Israel.
Behold your King, Messiah, Lord Is standing at the door. The crucified and risen One Will reign forever more.
He comes His people to redeem From bondage to set free. Jerusalem will be His throne Throughout eternity.
So courage, brothers, don’t lose heart! Though hard the way and long, This desert will blossom as the rose, The mountains break into song.
Lo from the North and West they’ll come In the East God’s Light will shine. Jerusalem will shout for joy “This people will be mine.”
The veil that is upon their hearts The Lord will take away. And looking to the Pierced One Their night will turn to day.
So beginning at Jerusalem Judah, Shomron as well In Galilee and the Negev too Go forth of Him to tell.
*yad l’achim, the virulent, anti-Christian and anti-”mission” organization, pouring out a stream of disinformation and mis-information.
