Analysis of Filthy garments
Valiantstar 1961 (Sydney)
Take away his filthy garments
Clothe him in white
Put a fair mitre on his head
Symbol of my might
I will bring my servant the branch
Fed from the vine
Not by might and not by power
By My Spirit
Drink my
Wine
The golden bowl has Seven pipes
Oil flowing through
Behold! The stone, it has seven eyes
Search out my land
The roll has a curse on both sides
The theif, the liar
Forever
Banned
Consumed from the face of the earth
Tellers of lies
In the Lord and His righteousness
All must
Abide.
There will be no Canaanite
Around them I am a flame
My people will live with me
When I remove their shame.
