If you liked "Speaking My Peace" you're going to love this classic off the Spirit-Filled Spoken Word album. The live audience really gives the words a third dimension. Lyrics: The message got messed with (Phil. 1:15-16) so we’re here to correct it (2 Tim. 3:16) The Son “has been perfected” (Heb. 7:28) when our Faith (1 John 5:4) was resurrected (1 Pet. 1:3) Check it! And connect this… like pieces of papyrus from Calvary’s hill (Luke 23:33) to Cyprus (Acts 27:4) even Peter can’t deny this! (Luke 22:34) Preferring Truth is not a bias, but the lie is (Rom. 1:25) divisive (Hos. 10:2) Like Ananias (Acts 5:3) we’re indecisive (1 Kin. 18:21/Joel 3:14) in a crisis; not the wisest (1 Cor. 1:25/3:19-20) when we analyze it Y’all are too quiet Maybe thinking “I don’t buy it!” But if it’s free, (Is. 52:3) then it’s not for sale (Acts 8:20) Nineveh is waiting (Jonah 3:2) and we’re still in the whale (Jonah 1:17) Free manna’s getting stale (Ex. 16:35) while we’re praying crops won’t fail? Some are worshipping Baal (1 Kin. 22:53) or still searching for the holy grail But the blessing we’re lacking (James 4:2) is ours for the asking; (James 4:2/Luke 11:9) the mysteries of heaven- (Mark 4:11/Matt. 13:11) ours for the unmasking by our King Everlasting; (Jer. 10:10) just one last thing which gives me peace surpassing (Phil. 4:7) all understanding, (Phil. 4:7) and “the thoughts (Ps. 94:11) and intents” (Heb. 4:12) of frail human planning (Ps. 33:10) My hope is in Your Word (Ps. 119:81/147) fools continue panning (Ps. 14:1) and dictators continue banning His word’s a fire in my bones (Jer. 20:9) God’s breath’s always fanning (Gen. 2:7) in “the shadow of Your wings” (Ps. 17:8/36:7) which are universe-spanning (Is. 40:12/48:13) The Righteous Sun’s so close (Mal. 4:2) it feels like I’m tanning in the Light of Life (John 1:4) on the Way through the Truth, (John 14:6) with Melchizedek, (Ps. 110:4) Elimelech, (Ruth 1:3) Naomi and Ruth (Ruth 2:22) The Church joined to Israel (1 Cor. 12:13) in a marriage we know as (Rev. 19:7/21:9-12) grafting in by grace (Rom. 11:17/19) like with Jesus or with Boaz (Ruth 4:9-10) Redeemed from the outside (Eph. 2:12-13) the path becomes clear (Ps. 119:105) so “we walk by faith” (2 Cor. 5:7) without “a spirit of fear” (2 Tim. 1:7) Fearing only God (1 Sam. 12:24) and casting not the first stone (John 8:7) All are judged… (Rom. 14:10) but we’re judged alone (Rev. 20:13) I reap what I’ve sown, (Gal. 6:7-8) glean what I’ve grown, cry out and groan (Rom. 8:15/2 Cor. 5:2) to know as I am known (1 Cor. 13:12) “before the judgment seat” (2 Cor. 5:10) and at the right hand of the throne (Mark 16:19) by an “invisible God” (Col. 1:15) whose image is shown (Col. 1:15) in that still, gentle voice (1 Kin. 19:11-12) like the wind’s soft tone (Acts 2:2) through my innermost man that will someday go home To “My Father’s house” – (John 14:2) a place of “many mansions” (John 14:2) seen in the Spirit like a window we glance in at Cherubim and Seraphim (Ps. 80:1/Is. 6:2) there with Him who can’t sin (1 John 3:9/5) Where Lazarus is risen (John 12:17) and David’s still dancin’! (2 Sam. 6:14) Where Methuselah is young again (Gen. 5:27) and blessed like Job; (Job 42:12) Where Joseph still wears (Gen. 37:23) his many-colored robe. (Gen. 37:23) With one Spirit, (1 Cor.12:13/Eph.4:4) Faith, and Hope, (Eph. 4:4-5) for all we’re called to do (Mic. 6:8) One Lord, (Eph. 4:5/1Cor. 8:6) one God and Father, (Eph. 4:6/Mal. 2:10) for Gentile and for Jew (Rom. 10:12) One body and one baptism (Eph. 4:4-5) united from the two (Eph. 2:14-16) and the “King from of old” (Ps. 74:12) in Jerusalem – New (Rev. 21:2) Who is this Hebrew I refer to? I thought you knew (John 3:10) Just connect the pieces: we’re enslaved (John 8:34/Rom. 6:16) so who can free us? (Gal. 5:1/John 8:32) Not you, only Jesus When we’re oppressed (Ps. 146:7) and killed (Ps. 44:22) who will see us? (Is. 29:15/Job 11:11) Not anyone, but Jesus Humbled to the form of man, (Phil. 2:8) who lowered Himself to be us? (Phil. 2:6-8) Not an idol or an angel it was God, in the flesh, (John 1:14/1 Tim. 3:16) as Jesus

Everyone supports free-speech for their side, but insists that "others" be censored. This is the story of that double-standard in light of the recent cartoon riots. Listen to what most open mic nights and slams won't say, but privately believe. Reviews, support, hate-mail, and other feedback is always welcome. -Judah www.judahisrael.com Lyrics: It's time to yell "FIRE!" in the crowded theatre of a Jihadist's heart 'cause Islam-o-fascism is spreading worse than Starbucks and Wal-Mart It's time to fight pretentiousness and censorship with offensiveness So here's my protest and it's no less than the last defense of free speech from the Dead Sea's sand to San Diego's beach these words that I teach are actions unleashed entering closed minds like a security breach saying "censorship is violence so I'm speaking my peace" taking off white flag blind-folds and putting cleats on my feet So when I preach to a beat it brings that Middle-East heat 'cause the "dogs of war" bark but my words...they have teeth! We support the "rights" of Nazis to march in Jewish communities shouting hate-speech in Skokie allowed with impunity No talk of "cultural sensitivity" No discussion forums or scrutiny But if you criticize Islam "Oh, it's anti-Arab bigotry" So now I've got whistles and hypocritical missiles aimed at me And I'm being taught non-violence by blind-guides on a shooting spree who offer mandatory classes on compassion like Clockwork Orange-style therapy And while textbooks that mention Auschwitz become more rare than the giant panda British Newspapers are awarding prizes to cartoon Nazi-propaganda and in Iran the President denies the Holocaust calling 6 million murders "a myth" while meeting with Hamas who denies the Jews right to exist and both insist Israel be "wiped off the map" but lets face facts, nobody's pissed Until 12 Danish cartoons satirize a "prophet" in a comic Now self-censorship's in vogue lest we offend the Islamic I'm not sure whether I want to laugh, cry, or vomit 'cause embassies are still burning but embarrassment's the hot topic So what? Does freedom of speech protect only racists pedophiles, homophobes, and of course, child-rapists KKK killers, cross-burners and sadists the greatest and most heinous on this freedom of hate-list? We tolerate anti-Semitism (we have centuries of practice) we mock Jesus and Christians we're pretty good at it and we even criticize Hindus but sadly the fact is when the fascism's Islamic we get all theocratic And as much as I'd like to be diplomatic in the face of grenades and semi-automatics held by pro-censorship religious fanatics I choose to pay respect via protest hoping others take notice but like all chapters, this one closes so please know this: Hate's not my mission I don't go for the throat And I'm not campaigning for a cause or courting your vote I'm just supporting free-speech for all the hypocrites who don't so that future Jihadists can burn this poem I wrote.
