I Thee Betroth Forever More

Based upon Hosea 2
Remembering Ilan Ramon

lyrics

And it shall come to pass the end of days,
you’ll call to me “My Man”--not husband any more
To my scattered flock I’ll call out: Be restored! –
My covenant with you and all life as in days of yore

I thee betroth forever more,
I thee betroth in justice – never cease
I thee betroth forever more,
I thee betroth in love, in compassion and in peace

Then I shall call upon the skies above,
and their reply to earth shall fill up every well
And earth shall call upon her grains of love,
to dance and be gathered from each field and tree of Jezreel

I shall sow the seeds of peace upon the Land,
with each daughter and with each and every son
And you shall know your God and understand,
and you’ll call out to me: “My Holy One!”

You shall rest secure upon the Land,
while I break bow and sword, and every sign of war
And I shall comfort all who could not stand,
as in faith I thee betroth – forever more!

Aiton Birnbaum Israel

Hi. I'm originally from NYC, now live in Israel. Got into writing music to express emotions about difficult current events, often using Holy Scriptures. There must be a reason such writings have been preserved and hallowed by so many for so long. So putting ancient wisdom to new music just feels right. Hope you enjoy the English or Hebrew versions, and wish you well. Thanks for listening! ... more
