You shall plant vineyards

 Haiku of restoration


Everlasting love.

The stuff that matters. From God.

All else falls away.


The time is coming

When I’ll reclaim my people;

I will be their God


They survived the sword,

found grace in the wilderness;

the Lord came to them.


Such big promises;

God’s faithfulness continues.

Nothing can stop it.


My people are lost;

in love I shall restore them;

I’ll build them again.


Take your tambourines

and dance in celebration;

our God is with us!


You shall plant vineyards

on Samaria’s mountains

and gather the fruit.


On Ephraim’s hillsides

they’ll call: ”Let’s go to Zion

to worship the Lord”
