Branch from Magnificat EP by ubcmusic

behold, a Branch shall come
from where the axe was laid
the root, unmarred by kings
will crown a sprout of grace

the Spirit of the Lord
will rest upon him
his judgment will pierce through
both brand and the best wording

with righteousness and peace
he will judge them
and decide with equity
for the poor and forgotten

but he shall strike the earth
with a tongue like a Javelin
and with a breath reduce to ash
the gloating wicked

and behold, when this Branch comes
as wolves and lambs lay down
your children will be left unharmed,
safe above the ground

for they will not hurt or destroy
on all My mountain
and all the earth will raise
the same refrain:

“O praise the Name
beyond all naming
open wide, ye gates
forsake your hinges
for the Branch is raised,
the beacon, lifted
to gather in the rest
to life, unbending”

behold, a Branch shall come
and i know you’re tired
but set your heart to search for light
on every withered stump
