The Siege Lifted, Open the Gate

Title: "The Siege Lifted, Open the Gates!”

This song captures the essence of 2 Kings Chapter 7, focusing on the themes of divine intervention, disbelief turned to belief, and the unexpected ways in which deliverance can come.

Lyrics:
(Verse 1)
In the city of Samaria, the walls closed in tight,
Famine struck hard, in the darkest of night.
Elisha stood up, with a word from above,
He spoke of abundance, of hope, and of love.

(Prechorus)
But the officer laughed, with doubt in his eyes,
"Even if skies opened wide, could this be the prize?"
Elisha just smiled, said, "You'll see but not taste,"
For the Lord has His ways, in glory and haste.

(Chorus)
Hear the sound, the chariots' roar,
The enemy's gone, they're not here anymore.
Run to the camp, where the feast awaits,
The siege is lifted, open the gates!

(Verse 2)
Four lepers at twilight, with nothing to lose,
Walked into the camp, found no one to choose.
Tents full of silver, of gold, and of bread,
They ate and they drank, no longer in dread.

(Prechorus)
They said to each other, "This isn't right to keep,"
"Let's tell the king, or our silence we'll reap."
Back to the city, with news they returned,
From disbelief to joy, the lesson we've learned.

(Chorus)
Hear the sound, the chariots' roar,
The enemy's gone, they're not here anymore.
Run to the camp, where the feast awaits,
The siege is lifted, open the gates!

(Bridge)
What was once despair, now turned to delight,
God's ways are mysterious, in darkness brings light.
The officer saw, but fate had its say,
He witnessed the miracle, but was taken away.

(Outro)
So remember this tale, when hope seems afar,
The Lord moves in ways, like the wind, like a star.
From famine to feast, from fear to rejoice,
In God's perfect timing, give Him your voice.

(Chorus)
Hear the sound, the chariots' roar,
The enemy's gone, they're not here anymore.
Run to the camp, where the feast awaits,
The siege is lifted, open the gates!
