Thanks for this reprise. I could not help remembering the passage: "And it shall come to pass in the last days, saith God, I will pour out of my Spirit upon all flesh: and your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, and your young men shall see visions, and your old men shall dream dreams ."

Thank you for this scripture reference, Bill. I've been thinking a lot about another one: all creation groaning and longing. All, that is, except most of us, who are too numb or fear-stricken to respond or stay alert. Myself included. But you can't block every door. Dreams and visions have a way of making themselves heard.

Absolutely brilliant on so many levels Seth! Amazing theme, lyrics and singing! And the banjo, holy smokes that`s a masterful performance! I like how you change right hand techniques and speed it up then slow it down. So glad you are sharing some of the older tunes you haven`t play in a long time!

Thanks for the encouragement, Dan, I am glad and grateful you liked this one so much! Inspires me to maybe start playing it more often.

LYRICS When the trees are leveled and the mountains crumbled who will offer shadows and hide you from the sun? when the land is filled with blessed angel music will you hear the song and will you understand? when the lord comes singing singing for his children will you join the song and will you understand? will you rest beneath the branches of the root of jesse? will the land that you have plowed be used to foster mercy? when the lord comes singing singing for his children will you hear the song and will you understand? let christ bring condemnation he (love) is the only true judge we deserve death also put away your sword now yes, put away your sword now turn it to a plowshare you can't use both at once now do you understand that to live for jesus' kingdom is to die to selfish living to live for jesus' kingdom is to die to selfish killing will you rest beneath the branches of the root of jesse will the land that you have plowed be used to foster mercy which side are you fighting for what does your master have in store for you? for you? things are moving faster now do you know your master now or what your fighting for? when the lord comes singing michael's sickle swinging will you hear the song and will you understand when the lion eats the grain and the wolf lies with the lamb will you hear the song and will you understand? when the trees are leveled and the mountains crumbled who will offer shadows and hide you from the sun?
