Holy Land Trip

Less than one minute read time.

Have just been to Israel - Galilee, Dead Sea and Jerusalem areas. It was very hot!  46C at Dead Sea which is 300 metres below normal sea level!

It was a blessed trip! Lit a candle and prayed in a church in Jerusalem.

    John - Lucky you. We did this a good while back, but avoided Jerusalem as we couldn't get insurance cover for the car we hired. Did you visit Masada ?Hubby made me walk up then had to get the cable car down (not sure which was worst). The Golan heights were great - covered in flowers after the Spring rains.Fantastic place, but best not leave khaki covered telescopes in your car as the Israeli army get quite interested in you (hubby is a birdwatcher). You have bought back memories now- I'll have the get the photos out.

    Yes I did go to Masada and Qumran. Amazing places! We used the cable car up and down. Sang 'Swing Low Sweet Chariot' on the way up! Saw the sign that said we had travelled from minus 257 metres below sea level to only 33 metres above sea level! Also wrote some verses which I have also put to music!

    Messiah Yeshua:

    Did He float your boat on the Galilee,

    Were you there and what did you see.

    Did you sing and dance on the Matthew’s deck,

    As the skilful fisherman cast his net.

    Did the storm within cease as you knew His peace,

    And we came to no harm on the waters calm.

    Did you meet Him there as we said a prayer,

    With a tear in your eye and emotions high.

    Did you feel His presence in Gethsemane

    And reflect on the words ‘you did it for me’.

    Did you see the skull where he faced the cull,

    In the Garden Tomb… think he’ll be back soon.

    Did He stir your bones as you touched those stones,

    Where our master walked and talked?

    Did you hear Him call near the Western Wall,

    “Follow me” -  Messiah Yeshua, it was He!
