JEREMIAH – The Linen Loincloth by Bro H

Verse 1 The word of the Lord came to me, saying, “Go and take a linen loincloth Wear it close against your body Let it cling and never fall Do not wash it, do not cleanse it Let it stay just as it is So I bound it to my waist Where the flesh and linen meet Verse 2 Take the loincloth, go again To the river far away Hide it deep among the stones Where the waters ruin and decay Many days passed by in silence Then the word came once more “Go and take the loincloth you hid By the river’s shore” Verse 3 I took it from the place it lay And it was marred and spoiled Good for nothing, torn and ruined By the damp and soil So is this people now before Me So is Judah in her pride You were meant to cling so close to Me But you would not hear — you turned aside Chorus I caused you to cling close to Me A people, a name, a praise But you followed your stubborn hearts And walked in your own ways Verse 4 You followed after other gods You bowed and served their lie You trusted what your hands had made And lifted pride on high Every jar will yet be filled You say, “We know this well” But I will fill you with drunkenness Until you stumble and fall Outro You were meant to cling so close to Me To bear My name in truth But like a loincloth left in the earth You became spoiled, torn, and loose But this wicked people, is like this marred loincloth Completely of no use
