Ears to Hear

Horns, I hear horns
shofar blows across the land
entire congregations raise their hands and sing
Jesus walks amongst them
unseen, unfelt, unloved, as a stranger
I hear the rocks cry out

People pray for sustenance and blessing
full bellies and full pockets
but their ears are asleep to the cries of the lost
The Lord roars out of Zion
the earth trembles, hatred rises in the streets
lies pour forth as truth, fear falls in sheets
babies die, no one mourns, hell rejoices
the church turns away

In the distance a sound is rising
listen, those with ears and hear the sound
the sound of horsemen coming
