Song – When Our Messiah Comes
When Our Messiah Comes – The Song in the Book
In the book ‘Journey on the Ancient Path: The Way of the Shepherd’, Josiah has a dream which included a song. When he wakes up, he learns to play the song on his lyre. This song is one that I actually had in a dream while writing this book, and I felt impressed to include it in the story line. The name of the song is When Our Messiah Comes.
In my book, Josiah writes this song after the evil King Herod has murdered the babies in Bethlehem. After you read that chapter, you will understand why I wrote the words to this song. While writing this song, I also contemplated the world that we live in today. We still have men with evil hearts and violence abounds in some places. The enemy of our soul has come to steal, to kill and to destroy. But, one day, our Messiah will come! We look forward to that day with hopeful hearts.

First Verse:
As long as evil men have power, the innocent will die
It matters not the reason, or how they justify
It’s a heart of hate that drives them, a spirit deep inside
That seeks to steal and kill and then destroy with jealous pride
When will this nightmare finish? When will this evil end?
When will the children laugh again? Oh please just tell me when
Chorus:
When our Messiah comes, with a scepter in His hand
With power and authority that no one can withstand
He will sit upon His throne and bring peace throughout the land
We will live in harmony, but not ’til then. . . .
Second Verse:
When will our Savior come, and when will men speak peace?
To each and every nation, when will our troubles cease?
When will our hearts be tender and full of gentleness?
When will our men and women long to live in holiness?
When will this dream of heaven, bring peace that has no end?
When will the people love again? Oh please just tell me when
