LORD ~ I Want to be a Sonflower

I Want to be a Sonflower

Here I am once again, wondering what should I do
Close my eyes and hope for death? Or keep on pressing through?
Oh how I long to be like Him, my Master and my Friend
Strong, courageous and full of faith, right up 'till the end
My heart it aches to be renewed, with love from on high
But how it groans from all the pain, that makes it's home my life.

Oh Dear Yeshua, how I love you! You are all the joy I know!
Come Holy Master and Create, a masterpiece to show!
Take all the pain, disgrace and despair, that makes it's life my home
Replace it with your love complete, like no one has ever known!
I give you all I have to give, and still some more please take
Please come my precious Yeshua, take me now and make...

A flower bold and beautiful, that can't be overlooked
One that springs forth in surprise beside a trickling brook
Please make me a Sonflower, so there will be no doubt
That without the light of the Son, I could never have come about
A single flower that began as a weed, where it's seed happened to fall
Taking on the likeness of the Son, is it's only call
As it grows so tall and strong, reaching for the sky
Is when it springs forth in surprise, for all those passing by
A Sonflower that inspires praise, to God for all it's worth
For it's magnificent beauty and the seeds of life it births

Yes Lord, a Sonflower is what I want to be
Though at times, it's so hard, to grow up as a weed
I know that if I stay in your light
Drink only of the rain of the river of life
One day when my time has come
I too will resemble the Son
No more wishing this weed were dead
Just the picking of this flower for your centerpiece instead

Holocaust Remembrance Day: 'That Jew Died for you" is a Film of Compassion.

I am the son of Holocaust survivors. Most of my family perished in the Holocaust, either in the crematorium or they were shot dead on the street. Like many children of Holocaust survivors I never had grandparents. I became a rabbi as a concept of never again. I vowed that I'd do everything in my power to stop evil and to make certain that people that are like the Nazis, demons that they are, would never succeed.

When I viewed the film, "That Jew Died For You," I recognized it as a movie of compassion. I am not a stranger to this subject having just authored a new book The Holocaust as Seen Through Film, one of the many books that I have written with a Holocaust theme.

I do not believe that Jesus was the Messiah, but I do believe he was a Jew. I am completely non-judgmental with regards to anyone's religious observances. I don't judge anybody because I did not go into the clergy for religious sake. I went into clergy for humanity's sake. There are not too many Holocaust survivors' kids around that think the way I do.

I do not agree with those who are attacking the video showing Jesus carrying a cross and being sent to the showers from the gates to Auschwitz. If Jesus were at Auschwitz he would have been murdered just for being a Jew. If anything the attack on this video bolsters Jews for Jesus, which I'm sure was not the intent of those critics. I think that the purpose of the video was to show that indeed Jesus was a Jew; whether you accept him as the Messiah is up to you. LET ME STATE CLEARLY: I DO NOT ENDORSE JEWS FOR JESUS OR THEIR BELIEFS. But I think their intent was not to harm our Jewish people but to depict Jesus as the observant Jew he was. The historical Jesus was a devout Jew.

I witnessed Mel Gibson's "Passion of the Christ" in Manhattan when it first came out and there was an uproar - there was a fear that it would create a lot of anti-Semitism because of the way that Jesus is persecuted and victimized. The fact is Jesus, at least the spiritual Jesus, was supposed to die and be resurrected and that did happen in this film. It was not the Jews that killed Jesus; rather it was Pontius Pilate and the Romans. In fact, if you saw that picture, you would see that the Roman soldiers did the floggings. Many people do not understand history at all.

I believe that it was the teachings of the Church, not Jesus, that allowed Hitler to spread his ideology of hatred for the Jews. I am happy that the teachings of the Church regarding the Jewish people have changed. A special thank you to the Christians who support the state of Israel.

The bottom line is that Jesus' message was not to hate the Jews, but to love all humanity, and he would certainly not say that one should hate his own people. Instead of hatred in the world, there should be love. And if that was the message Jesus communicated, then that was an outstanding message for all of mankind. During this period of Easter and Passover, as well as the remembrance of the Holocaust, may love conquer evil and may we together fight hatred and intolerance.
