Implore (Contest: Blue October)
Implore (Contest: Blue October)
O' how many babies unspoken implore
that mommy plus daddy who they instantly adore
will continue to love them forever, yes ever more
in a haven called 'home' with them safe and sure.
So, we implore our Father in the great heavens above to clear this land of wickedness; instill in hearts deep love.
This He'll do with an anointed Son
Appointed. Acknowledged
by a spirit like a dove.
Yes, meek, mild, humble, this One.
Yet, He'll not rule like men with an iron glove.
With a spirit of Jehovah, this 'twig' of Jesse will be
wise, understanding, just, his counsel;
His power--mighty.
"He will strike the earth with the rod of his mouth
And put the wicked to death with the breath of his lips.
Righteousness will be the belt around his waist,
And faithfulness the belt of his hips."
Under His rulership, a little boy will lead
a wolf, lamb, goat, leopard
to lie down in security.
"Because the earth will certainly be filled with the knowledge of Jehovah
As the waters cover the sea."
For:
God's War of Armageddon
will remove all opposers
and to His righteous people
will bring salvation
here on earth
a sweet release.

Based upon Isaiah chapter eleven:
"A twig+ will grow out of the stump of Jesʹse,+
And a sprout+ from his roots will bear fruit.
2 And the spirit of Jehovah will settle upon him,+
The spirit of wisdom+ and of understanding,
The spirit of counsel and of mightiness,+
The spirit of knowledge and of the fear of Jehovah.
3 And he will find delight in the fear of Jehovah.+
He will not judge by what appears to his eyes,
Nor reprove simply according to what his ears hear.+
4 He will judge the lowly with fairness,*
And with uprightness he will give reproof in behalf of the meek ones of the earth.
He will strike the earth with the rod of his mouth+
And put the wicked to death with the breath* of his lips.+
5 Righteousness will be the belt around his waist,
And faithfulness the belt of his hips.+
6 The wolf will reside for a while with the lamb,+
And with the young goat the leopard will lie down,
And the calf and the lion* and the fattened animal will all be together;*+
And a little boy will lead them.
7 The cow and the bear will feed together,
And their young will lie down together.
The lion will eat straw like the bull.+
8 The nursing child will play over the lair of a cobra,
And a weaned child will put his hand over the den of a poisonous snake.
9 They will not cause any harm+
Or any ruin in all my holy mountain,+
Because the earth will certainly be filled with the knowledge of Jehovah
As the waters cover the sea.+
10 In that day the root of Jesʹse+ will stand up as a signal* for the peoples.+
To him the nations will turn for guidance,*+" verses 1-10
