JEREMIAH – My People Love It So by Bro H

Verse 1 Run through the streets of Jerusalem, look and see Search her squares if you can find one man One who does justice, who seeks the truth And I will pardon the land Though they say, “As The Lord lives,” They swear it falsely still You struck them, but they felt no pain You consumed them — they refused Your will Verse 2 They made their faces harder than rock They would not turn back again I said, “Surely these are only the poor, They do not know Yahweh’s way” So I went to the great and the wise Surely they would obey But together they broke the yoke Together they tore the law apart Chorus The prophets prophesy lies in My name The priests rule by their own command And My people love it that way But what will you do when the end is at hand? Verse 3 Shall I not visit for these things? Shall I not avenge My name? How can I pardon a people like this When their sons have forsaken My ways? Their houses are full of deceit Like cages filled with prey They grew rich, they grew powerful But they did not plead the cause of the needy or the betrayed Verse 4 They speak words smooth as oil But their hearts are far from clean They test Me again and again Though they’ve seen what I have been They do not say in their hearts “Let us fear Yahweh our God” Who gives the rain in its season Who guards the weeks He ordained by His law Chorus The prophets prophesy lies in My name The priests rule by their own command And My people love it that way But what will you do when the end is at hand? Outro An appalling and horrible thing Has happened within the land The lie is loved, the truth is hated Now at the door, does judgment stand
