The Apple of His Eye







The Apple of His Eye

By George Thurlow

Be mindful all ye nations
Of what was prophesied:
He who touches Israel
Touches the apple of His eye.

God placed His name upon those hills;
He keeps an ever watchful eye.
Those who would try to part the Land
Must contend with El Shaddai.

The Lord has chosen Zion,
And He is jealous for His Land.
Through His everlasting covenant
Jerusalem shall stand.

Though She be a cup of trembling,
And to the world a burdensome stone:
Jeshua the Messiah
Shall reign upon the throne.

Those who love and bless Her
Receive a blessing in return.
Those who hate and curse Her
Are cursed by God and spurned.

Take warning all ye nations
Of what was prophesied:
He who touches Israel
Touches the apple of His eye.

Zechariah 2:8 Joel 2:18 Zechariah 12:2-3
Genesis 12:3
