listen to the voices

 

Matthew 2:13–23 

a voice in a dream

whispers, urges – go! 

take mother and flee,

take child and run for his life

to Egypt – 

get up

Joseph

go! 

a voice cries out

wailing, loud lamentation,

Bethlehem will not be consoled

weeping for her children,

will not be consoled,

for they are 

no more 

a voice. a dream. once

more – again – get up! 

I have called you,

called him out of Egypt

come home, Israel is waiting

but make a new home

to call him Nazarean

go there, go now

come to the place

I call you

home
