The Cedar Has Fallen

The spirit of compassion and supplication,
And of the waves of the sea to touch my heart;
For the cedar has fallen into my garden.

I am from the waterless pit and,
The Nile will dry up for me to wlk through;
For the axe is now laid against the tree of love.

Blessed are the merciful and love to the King!
But the cedar has fallen next to me;
And Rachel is now weeping for her children.

Curse be the deceiver!
And of lamentation and bitter weeping;
But at the fall of the night i will be with you.

Be as wise as the serpent and,
Ride on the donkey of love;
For i do have five loaves of bread and two fish to share,
And each day has its own trouble in this life.
