3. The market place is empty
No more traffic in the streets
All the builders’ tools are silent
No more time to harvest wheat
Busy housewives cease their labours,
In the courtroom no debate
Work on earth has been suspended
As the king comes in the Lord

through this land,
They’re being led by an unseen hand
It’s leading them to the promised
