HOUSES OF ISRAEL AND JUDAH – Two Houses One Shepherd by Bro H

Verse 1 Twelve sons came from Jacob's line One covenant, one design One God, one law, one holy name Before division ever came Judah held the royal throne Joseph's birthright still was known The scepter and the promises Would shape the ages after this Chorus Two houses, one Shepherd One promise through the storm Scattered to the nations Yet never left forlorn Though the kingdoms were divided The covenant remained The God who scattered Israel Would call His sheep again Verse 2 Jeroboam turned Israel away Golden calves and crooked ways Ephraim joined himself to sin The judgment of God entered in Hosea cried, "Lo-Ammi" Not My people was their condition Divorced and driven from the land Yet still preserved by Yahweh's hand Chorus Two houses, one Shepherd One promise through the storm Scattered to the nations Yet never left forlorn Though the kingdoms were divided The covenant remained The God who scattered Israel Would call His sheep again Verse 3 Beyond the rivers, past the sea Habor, Gozan, history Khumri, Scythian, Sakae names The people changed but stayed the same Westward through the nations rolled Into Europe's forests cold Among the isles and distant lands The birthright grew as God had planned Verse 4 Lost sheep wandering far away Yet the prophets saw another day Ezekiel spoke of sticks made one Jeremiah saw what would come A better covenant made anew With the house of Israel and Judah too One nation under David's King The scattered tribes returning Chorus Two houses, one Shepherd One promise through the storm Scattered to the nations Yet never left forlorn Though the kingdoms were divided The covenant remained The God who scattered Israel Would call His sheep again Verse 5 Then appeared Jesus in Judah's land The Shepherd sent by God's own hand Sent to seek and sent to save The lost sheep that the Father gave Other sheep beyond the fold Children scattered long ago Through the cross and Gospel call The Shepherd gathers one and all Bridge Paul wrote to the nations by pen The dispersed sons of Israel's kin Not My People called again Children of the Living God Broken branches grafted in Mercy stronger than their sin The olive tree still standing strong The root was there all along Verse 6 From Ephraim's promised multitude To Romans and the olive root The story runs from end to end One covenant, one people, restored again And all the prophets testify The promises made did not die The God of Abraham forever reigns And calls His scattered sheep by name Final Chorus Two houses, one Shepherd One promise through the storm Scattered to the nations Yet never left forlorn From the valleys of Assyria To Europe's distant plains The God who scattered Israel Still calls His sheep again Outro Two houses once divided Again become one One flock One Shepherd One nation in His hand One King forevermore
