Temple Mount
Ancient mountain, holy mountain, bought for a
price.
Dedicated, God's possession, great is its size.
Overpowered, point in the middle, earth is
gazing.
Dome of the Rock, men are shouting, hearts are
raging.
God's House had built King Solomon, King
David's son.
Destroyed it was, seventy years, favor was won.
Persian Cyrus, granted Jews returning, fixing
Wall and Temple. Sanctifying, ending mixing
Jews with goyim, Ezra and Nehemiah built
Wall and Temple, Second Temple, Levites filled
God's eternal home with joyful Torah reading,
Temple rites of Moses, David, they were
heeding.
Conquest, the Greeks, horrible idolatry came,
But also the Maccabees, who fought for The
Name.
Miracles occurred, God provided, lamps were
shining.
Romans came in, Jewish scepter undermining.
Herod the Great magnified the whole Holy Mount,
Killing Mariamne, infants, many lost we count.
Jesus survived, preaching salvation to all
people.
Bleeding on His Mount of Olives, watch the
steeple!
King be He on Mount Zion, where Crusaders stood,
Everlasting songs of praise shall sound, God is
good!
Mount Moriah shall see, place of God's example,
Jews and nations praying in the East Gate
Temple.
