Even though things were disjointed,
to carry out what God appointed,
Cyrus stood as God’s anointed.
He might not have known the golden rule,
nor did he teach in Sunday School,
but surely Cyrus was no fool.
King Cyrus made a firm decree
that fateful day in history
that soon the world would clearly see.
A sovereign nation be reclaimed,
as one could ponder unashamed
a government that God had framed.
Even though things seemed erratic,
and some might even say schismatic,
the rank and file were so ecstatic.
Despite some troubling aggravation
while standing on a firm foundation,
they vowed to stay the full duration.
