As
Long As…
As long as the Sea of Galilee blindingly reflects the setting sun into the squinting eyes of a nearby fisherman;
As long as the beautiful, red rose nullifies the sharp aridity of the scorching desert;
As long as the River Dan defiantly overwhelms the rocky riverbed beneath it and the lush vegetation of its banks;
As long as the delicate, violet caper thrives during the blistering heat of a bright summer’s day;
As long as the Dead Sea ministers healing minerals to the ailing sojourner;
As long as the bountiful, fruit crop blankets every spare acre of viable land;
As long as the Jordan River solemnly marches toward its awaiting harbor:
So long shall the land of Israel prosper and flourish as the dwelling place of God’s chosen people.
