-----------------------/Lord Have Pity For Israel (Me); My Official Cry For Forgiveness/


I love you I never meant to
hurt you I was trying to assuage the pain of
a life lived with regret, and misgivings about
coveted things...I didn’t see your wrath coming
mired in my demise
now I turn to your heart and rend mine
hoping instead of locusts, you will leave your
blessing and meal offering
for our children
and we promise to demolish our idols
and we promise to abstain from food
gathered in the town square
old men, children and women nursing
bride and bridegroom weep so as to be spared
because I lost my way somewhere
grass and thorns instead of smooth road
the lion, the bear the wild beast not the lamb
the shepherds fall into the ditches they have dug
running from you
entangled by the same world that derides me now
taunting words – where is his God?
for my people are hungry and we lost our crops
I lost my money
my girl, my will to press on in Holiness
all for my myopic desire for pleasure
repentance
and jealously we pray for
be jealous for me
be jealous for Israel
Lord have mercy

(so I can dance in the dust of my past sins)



-------------Joel 2:12-18----
"Now, therefore," says the LORD,
"Turn to Me with all your heart,
With fasting, with weeping, and with mourning."
So rend your heart, and not your garments;
Return to the LORD your God,
For He is gracious and merciful,
Slow to anger, and of great kindness;
And He relents from doing harm.
Who knows if He will turn and relent,
And leave a blessing behind Him—
A grain offering and a drink offering
For the LORD your God?
Blow the trumpet in Zion,
Consecrate a fast,
Call a sacred assembly;
Gather the people,
Sanctify the congregation,
Assemble the elders,
Gather the children and nursing babes;
Let the bridegroom go out from his chamber,
And the bride from her dressing room.
Let the priests, who minister to the LORD,
Weep between the porch and the altar;
Let them say, "Spare Your people, O LORD,
And do not give Your heritage to reproach,
That the nations should rule over them.
Why should they say among the peoples,
'Where is their God?'"
Then the LORD will be zealous for His land,
And pity His people.

---------------"Tokyo (Dance in the Dust)" Lyrics
I see you come alive when our hearts and thoughts connect,
I feel your bedroom eyes from behind your cigarette,
Finally you're here,

Tokyo,
It's in our blood,
Japanese angels you and I,
The night is young,
It's inside us,
Stay forever immortalized,
Come join us,
Dance in the d-d-d-dust,

I knew I loved you from before the night we met,
When the neon colors all blew up your silhouette,
Suddenly you're free,

Tokyo,
It's in our blood,
Japanese angels you and I,
The night is young,
It's inside us,
Earth and heaven both collide,
Come join us,
Dance in the dust,

T.o.k.y.o, T.o.k.y.o, T.o.k.y.o, T.o.k.y.o, T.o.k.y.o
(dance in the dust, dance in the dust)
T.o.k.y.o, T.o.k.y.o, T.o.k.y.o, T.o.k.y.o, T.o.k.y.o
(dance in the dust, dance in the dust)
(dance in the dust, dance in the dust)
