Jubilee

And ye shall hallow the fiftieth year, and proclaim liberty throughout all the land unto all the inhabitants thereof: it shall be a jubilee unto you; and ye shall return every man unto his possession, and ye shall return every man unto his family.
Leviticus 25:10

Heartsick and captive, I lay down to die.

No mercy or justice to me could apply.

I'd shot my last bolt and was hollowed out good;

I tasted of nothing but gall and wormwood.

But in my despair came a voice unto me,

declaring the Lord would soon hold Jubilee.

My chains would retreat and my heart would take wing;

of marvels and mercy I'd soon want to sing.

I saw that my liberty soon would arrive,

with once more the chance to grow happy and thrive. 

My doubts fall away and my sorrows retreat,

as I wait on the Lord for his Jubilee sweet!
