Upon a bare hill, raise a signal, cry aloud to them
wave the hand for them to enter the gates of the nobles
I Myself have commanded my consecrated ones and have summoned my mightiy men to execute my anger, my proudly exulting ones
The sound of a tumult is on the mountains as of a great multitude, the sound of a great uproar of kingdoms, of nations gathering together
The LORD of Hosts is mustering a host for battle - they come from a distant land, from the end of the heavens - the LORD and the weapons of His indignation to destroy the whole land
Wail, for the day of the LORD is near - as destruction of the Almighty it will come
Therfore, all hands will be feeble and every human heart will melt, they will be dismayed, pangs of agony will seize them, they will be in anguish like a woman in labor
They will look aghast at one another, their faces will be aflame
The LORD and the weapons of His indignation
The Book of Isaiah 13

interlude I - the call
07:16

Now the word of the LORD came to me saying:
"Before I formed you in the womb, I knew you.
And before you were born I consecrated you.
I appointed you a prophet to the nations."
Then I said:
"Ah LORD God! Behold I do not know how to speak! For I am only a youth!"
But the LORD said to me:
"Do not say 'I am only a youth', for to all whom I send you, you shall go, and whatever I command you, you shall speak."
Then the LORD put out His hand and touched my mouth.
And the LORD said to me: '
"Behold, I have put My words in your mouth. See, I have set you this day over nations and over kingdoms. To pluck up and to break down, to destroy and overthrow.
To build and to plant."
"If you grow weary racing with men, how can you compete with horses?
But those who wait for the LORD will mount up with the wings of and eagle - they will run and not grow weary, the will walk and not grow faint."
"Before I formed you in the womb, I knew you.
And before you were born, I consecated you.
I appointed you a prophet to the nations."
From the Book of Jeremiah and Isaiah.

In the days of old
there have been
and in times to come there will be
great and mighty stewards
wielding scepters of gold
constructing palaces of silver and ivory
filled with glory, filled with song
but I will contruct with bow and finger
that which is made of mortar and stone
from a wooden chamber speweth forth
a flame of joy
a quivering song sung upon quivering precious strands
(I Will Construct by A.J.Tengesdal)
if you grow weary racing with men, how can you compete with horses?
if you stumble in a comfortable land, how can you survice the flooding of the Jordan?
(from the Book of Jeremiah)
the lions, the floods, the famines
but those who wait for the LORD will mount up with the wings of an eagle
they will run and not grow weary, they will walk and not grow faint
(from the Book of Isaiah)
but and eagle can fly farther, can fly faster, can fly higher
it can compete with strength
you will mount up with the wings of an eagle
you will not grow weary, you will not faint
Amen

...may the psalter...
11:13

May the Psalter held by humble hands, with eager heart, touch not only the ears or the surface of the senses
To tickle with delight
By the prowess of its player
The strenght of its warrior
The generosity of its giver
But may the Psalter hold fast and sure
But may the Psalter hold fast and sure
Move past the crowds of people, past the dizzying lights
And past the borders of walls, and fences that protect and self protect
To the heart of a stranger
to an inner place of questions
casting out fear by perfect love
and dark by noonday bright
and oppression by rising triumph bringing gospel joy
May the Psalter held by humble hands, with eager heart, touch not only
the ears or the surface of the senses
To tickle with delight
By the prowess of its player
The strength of its warrior
The generosity of it giver
But may the Psalter hold fast and sure
Move past the crowds of people, past the dizzying lights
And past the borders of walls, and fences that protect and self protect
To the heart of a stranger
to an inner place of questions
casting out fear by perfect love
and dark by noonday bright
and oppression by rising triumph bringing gospel joy
Calling what is nothing a child
(Calling) what is wrecked rebuilt
What is crippled to dance again
What is crippled to dance again
What is crippled to dance again
May the Psalter by A.R.Tengesdal

Grant me the silver tongue from which I will speak 26 flaming notes
I will plainly declare hidden things
Give me a soft heart that cries out with gentle love and furious passion
Grant me the silver tongue from which I will speak 26 flaming notes
I will plainly declare hidden things
Draw me, I will run after Thee my love
I will speak truth that opens eyes
My lips will sting and make sober
They will speak purpose, give meaning
My words will delight and make extinguished destiny blaze
Draw me, I will run after Thee my love
Give me the tongue of a Psalter to build towers and stand on them and cry out: "Live dry bones, live!"
O mankind, born to fly!
Wherefore do you fall at such a small wind?
If you are carried by the breeze, how will you stand in the hurricane?
