What if the Heaven’s shut up
Solomon ponders so…
A question worthy of thought
Today as storm clouds blow.

For Christ has given a path
One of safety and escape
But we will have to choose
This path that we must take.

He gave it pretty clear
For His people by which are named
As people of the Lord
Must turn from wicked ways.

The deceitful tongues and hearts
Idolatry and immoral ways
Pride and lust of the heart
The sin that sets ablaze.

His people..not the world
For they know not His heart
But people called by His name
Are the ones He calls to watch.

For indifference to hurting ones
And withdrawing from the fight
For tending to one’s self
While others mourn and cry.

For walking past the lambs
That bleed beside the streets
My people you were called
To bind the wounds of these.

For allowing enslaved hearts
Who I’ve called to proclaim
For taking rightful authority
From those who bear My name.

For My hand alone does choose
It seems you have forgot
The little Shepherd boy
Out tending to My flock.

Oh hear My people with ears!!
You are now far away
From that which I did mean
You’ve humanized my ways.

Where religious ways do wound
And bring the law back with bonds
These must also now turn
For this must too be gone.

For denying My power today
To work and bring true life
For without it is but lost
The promised abundant life.

To the lofty and haughty eyes
For rebuilding the veil free cross
For refusing simple hearts
To believe on ME when called.

The one who withholds My truth
Because you dare not believe
Nor Listen to counsel I’ve sent
You did not have eyes to see.

This is the only escape
For the coming storms and waves
Do silence the cymbals that clang
Where love no longer remains.

Where knowledge has usurped My heart
And I am no longer recognized
These too must now turn quick
For healing to come nigh.

If My people who are called
Who are Called by Mine own name
Would offer me their hearts
In prayer and humble ways .

If they might hear My cry
To sin which is hidden deep
It’s the little foxes that spoil
The forgotten that makes you weak.

“If I shut up the heavens so that there is no rain, or if I command the locust to devour the land, or if I send pestilence among My people, and My people who are called by My name humble themselves and pray and seek My face and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven, will forgive their sin and will heal their land.

2 Chronicles 7:13-14
