Awake Oh Zion - Isaiah 52:1-2


Isaiah 52:1-2 ESV 
 Awake, awake,
put on your strength, O Zion;
 put on your beautiful garments,
O Jerusalem, the holy city;
 for there shall no more come into you
the uncircumcised and the unclean.
 Shake yourself from the dust and arise;
be seated, O Jerusalem;
 loose the bonds from your neck,
O captive daughter of Zion.

Awake, oh sleeper
Your King approaches
Your strength and salvation 
Is drawing near

To the dust you've gone
From the dust you will return
Clothed in righteousness 
And jewels pure and precious 

Free from the yoke at last
Turn and gaze upon your Savior
Oh daughter of Zion
The new Jerusalem  descends


Luke 15:22-24
But the father said to his servants, ‘Bring quickly the best robe, and put it on him, and put a ring on his hand, and shoes on his feet. And bring the fattened calf and kill it, and let us eat and celebrate. For this my son was dead, and is alive again; he was lost, and is found. ’ And they began to celebrate.
