In a Day of Bitter and Sweet

In a day where sweet is bitter
and bitter is sweet,
Mankind needs to be more holy
and not take to strong drink.

The Lord's vineyard has been planted
on a fruitful hill.
With the choicest of grafted vines
That's been cared for with skill.

We, too, grow a young seedling
Nurtured from a seed.
Through faith that promotes actions
We've precious fruit that's sweet.

Evil is not good. It is dark,
And so is its fruit.
Soon what's bitter and rotten
May poison to the root.

The bitter fruit tastes very bad
To those with sweet food.
Wo to them who find bitter sweet
When they have what is good.

The Lord's vineyard has been grafted
To preserve each root.
Each bitter branch will be cast off
And soon burned into soot.

He has grieved much as He's labored.
Trying everything.
As the Lord grafts for the last time.
More servants, He will bring.


Isa. 5: 20, 2 Ne. 15: 20
Wo unto them that call evil good, and good evil,
that put darkness for light, and light for darkness,
that put bitter for sweet, and sweet for bitter!

Jacob 5
