A glimpse of glory
On a recent trip to Israel (Dec. 2008) Tommie Mackay (Inverness YMCA/CYC) took this photograph over Jerusalem without really knowing how (if at all) it would turn out. He has entitled it: A Glimpse of Glory.
Jerusalem is the city from which Jesus left to join His Father; it's the city to which he said he will return with his feet to stand on the Mount of Olives; and it is the city in which God the Father has "caused His Name to dwell" - forever.
Whilst in the Holy Land, Tommie wrote a song about the eternal city -
Oh Jerusalem, Jerusalem, the centre of our world
Ascend and praise His name most high, Hallelujah worthy is the lamb
As we look upon the valley too, the gate so beautiful
Where our Lord will enter in and free Jerusalem
Oh Jerusalem, Jerusalem, the centre of our world
Where once messiah walked upon, the rock on which you are formed
He could have split you into two but patiently he bides
Peace will be restored and the blind will see, Jesus is the Christ
Oh Jerusalem, Jerusalem, the centre of our world
Dived up, torn and mocked, a living remnant to gaze upon
Let us be like, the olive trees, and know no boundaries
Until our lord returns to claim, pray peace for Jerusalem
Oh Jerusalem, Jerusalem, the Lord will not forget
The tears and pain will pass away you will recognise your worth
The promise of eternity will unfold before our eyes
When Jesus Christ returns to claim Jerusalem again
Jerusalem Amen, Jerusalem Amen

Following a meal of Jewish food, a capacity crowd at the YMCA sang Jewish songs, listened to Tommie Mackay (with fellow musicians) give a rendering of his composition 'Oh, Jerusalem'. Following that a slide show presentation captured the essence of the recent trip to Israel.
