The Court Of Gentiles HARVEST

[jbx]

Jesus was described as "a man of many sorrows." This song marks the single event in which He displayed anger. For that one fact alone, it is worth noting.

Court Of The Gentiles

The Court Of The Gentiles
Looked more like a stable
Than it did a holy place.
They were selling their wares,
Cheating one another,
Made a mockery out of His grace,
But Jesus made a whip in His holy anger;
His power filled the air.
He turned over tables,
Scattered their money,
And said it's a place of prayer.

They were bitter and angry
As they struggled out,
Wondering what they'd just seen,
But deep down inside them
The worry and doubt for some
Was about to end;
For the weapon He'd used
Was a whip of love
He made to set them free,
And with every blow
On their backs of pride,
Their eyes began to see.

Then He lifted His hands and said,
"My house will be a house of prayer
So that all of the nations
And all of the people
Will know if you've been there!"

The sting from the whip
On their backs is now gone,
But still they remember His face.
The power that came
Everytime He spoke,
There was nothing to do but obey.
Never had they seen such a holy man
Who said He was the Son Of God.
The words He spoke,
Like a sword of strength,
Drove their wickedness out.

He lifted His hands and said,
"My house will be a house of prayer
So that all of the nations
And all of the people
Will know if you've been there!"

They will know...
