Seven, oath
Both apply
Water gives it life
This desert land of promise
Abraham and other patriarchs
Lived and learned
Faith and witness
God is one
Then the days
Rulers came
Worshipping things of death
Ignoring God’s claim
Promise claimed
The victory flamed
Then quickly died away
Yet ever Israel’s southern song
Change, change
Kings came
People denied
Beersheva lost its fame
Remember Christ
He knows your name
His oath to you
Will never change
