Filthy garments



Take away his filthy garments
Clothe him in white

Put a fair mitre on his head
Symbol of my might

I will bring my servant the branch
Fed from the vine

Not by might and not by power
By My Spirit
Drink my
Wine

The golden bowl has Seven pipes
Oil flowing through

Behold! The stone, it has seven eyes
Search out my land

The roll has a curse on both sides
The theif, the liar
Forever
Banned

Consumed from the face of the earth
Tellers of lies

In the Lord and His righteousness
All must
Abide.

There will be no Canaanite
Around them I am a flame
My people will live with me
When I remove their shame.
