Not a Stump (Isaiah 11:1)


A BRANCH SHALL COME

FROM THE TRUNK OF JESSE’S FAMILY TREE



IT WILL BE CALLED

WISE

UNDERSTANDING

CONSOLING

MIGHTY

PRINCE OF PEACE



A BETTER IMAGE THAN STUMP

OF FORESTS DENUDED

AS THE ASSYRIANS DID

TO THE LAND AROUND JERUSALEM



BUT THE PROMISES OF GOD

WEREN’T IN THE FORESTS OR THE CITY



THE SON OF DAVID WOULD COME



THE LINEAGE OF DAVID

WOULD PROGRESS

FATHER TO SON

UNTIL FULFILLED IN CHRIST



NOT A STUMP

BUT A TREE WOULD SURVIVE



NOT A WASTELAND

BUT A LAND RESEEDED

BY THE MOTHER TREE



NOT A WASTELAND

BUT A TREE

WHERE THOSE WHO WERE SCATTERED

LIKE FRIGHTENED BIRDS

COULD COME BACK

AND FIND REFUGE



THE PROMISE

THE LINEAGE

WOULD COME TRUE



THE TREE OF GOOD AND EVIL

ONCE MORE BEARS FRUIT



AND WE ARE ASKED TO PARTAKE



THIS IS MY BODY

MY BLOOD



COME AND BE PART OF ME



FRANK A VOLLMER
