1 Esdras

From the lost scrolls I found a gem
First Esdras in the apocrypha’s hem
Pages whisper truths that bend the norm
Ancient words in a modern storm 
Three young men with riddles to test
Who speaks the truth who stands the best
Zerubbabel rose with the power of love
Truth and wisdom from the heavens above
A banquet laid a challenge unfurled
What rules the man what rules the world 
Wine the king or truth divine 
Esdras taught me the choice is mine
Rebuild the temple rise from dust
Faith and action forge the trust 
A city reborn in sacred fire
Esdras wrote the hearts desire 

Esdras speaks the wisdom flows 
Hidden tales where the mystery grows
From the past to the present the voice ignites
The lost words now shine in the night

Ancient scrolls they come alive
Esdras speaks where truth survives
Walls of Zion they will rise
Through the dust where hope complies
Kings and dreams in shattered lands
Wisdom flows through Esdras hands
Through the chaos through the pain
Faith will guide us once again 
Through the exile through the strife
Find the meaning build your life
Questions asked and answers glow
In the verses truth will show
Sword and spirit word and might
Through the darkness shines the light 
Builders gather bricks and stone
Faithful hearts we're not alone

Rebuild the walls stand tall again 
Through the ruins we will defend 
Voices echo from the past
The righteous word will always last 

Esdras speaks the wisdom flows 
Hidden tales where the mystery grows
From the past to the present the voice ignites
The lost words now shine in the night

Rebuild the walls stand tall again 
Through the ruins we will defend 
Voices echo from the past
The righteous word will always last
