Grafted - ICEJ Young Adults
It's brag time for me. I have been spending the past week with an incredible group of amazing people. Their ages are between 16 and 25 and they are a highly motivated as well as gifted group of young Christians.
Today, it was our turn to be in front of the people.
Today we marched in the Jerusalem March.
Two of the girls came up with a cheer for the whole group to chant as we marched. It goes like this:
Hallelujah
Hallelujah
To the God of Israel
To the God of Israel
We have come to Shout and Show
We have come to Shout and Show
Israel, you're not alone!
Israel, you're not alone!

That was good and it seemed like we had an edge for the parade but one of the guys didn't think a girl should be the only one who came up with slogans for the group so he put forward his own idea.
He got a drum and started a beat…
Boom Boom Chee,
Boom Boom Chee,
boom boom chee..
We will, we will bless you!
Boom boom chee
Boom boom chee
We will, we will bless you!
Shouting out our praise of Amazing Grace,
Waving our flags all over the place;
We will, we will bless you!
Boom boom chee…(Repeat)

We added a couple of Israeli folk songs and some simple chants and off we went. The crowds were huge and intensely, perhaps overwhelmingly happy to see the foreign visitors. They wanted to say thanks for coming to Israel, they wanted to shake our hands, and they wanted our flags to take home with them.
