If You Had a Vineyard (Dublin Sessions)
If you had a vineyard on a fruitful hill And you fenced it and cleared it of all stones until
You planted it with the choicest of vine And you even built a tower and a press to make wine And you looked that it would bring forth sweet grapes And it gave only wild grapes
What would you say, Jerusalem and Judah? You be the judges I pray Between me and my vineyard This is what God says
What more could I have done in it That I did not do in it? Why, when I ask it for sweetness It brings only bitterness?
For the vineyard of the Lord of hosts Is the house of Israel And the men of Judah His pleasant plant
And He looks for justice but beholds oppression And He hopes for equality but hears a cry Jerusalem and Judah Listen God's reply
Sadness will come to those who build house to house And lay field to field 'til there's room Find more lyrics at ※ Mojim.com For none but you to dwell in the land, oh, in the land
And sadness will come to those who call evil good And good evil, who present darkness as light And light as darkness who present as sweet Only the things which are bitterness
For the vineyard of the Lord of hosts Is the house of Israel And the men of Judah His pleasant plant, oh, His pleasant plant
Oh, that my eyes were a fountain of tears That I might weep for my poor people
For every boot stamped with fierceness For every cloak rolled in blood Jerusalem and Judah I'd cry if I could
Oh, that my eyes were a fountain of tears I might weep for my poor people
Oh, that my eyes were a fountain of tears I might weep for my poor people
Oh, that my eyes were a fountain
