| Perfect humans, had it made, then they kind of went astray
|
| Sought the serpent for their wisdom so they had to go
|
| Though the Lord made a prediction
|
| Soon the lady’d have some kids and
|
| From her seed would come to be the Man who’d win my soul
|
| So the Lord made some coverings that came from
|
| Animals He skinned alive, animals that had to die
|
| After that a bad scene, Cain has got a cruel scheme
|
| Offering some old vegetables his sacrifice was nullified
|
| We didn’t start Messiah
|
| Yet we’re always yearning for the Lord’s returning
|
| We didn’t start Messiah
|
| No, the Israelites already prophesied Him
|
| Though his brother’s plan was flawed
|
| Abel had a lamb for God
|
| Sacrificed it and God liked it, Cain was ticked off
|
| Abel’s done, murder one, Adam and Eve had another son
|
| Named him Seth now Cain has got a spot
|
| Seth’s line, Cain’s seed, both left God as sin increased
|
| They could not foresee the plan — salvation through just one man
|
| But Noah knew a bit — wound up on a cruise ship
|
| In the waves, they were saved, God knows what He’s doin'
|
| We didn’t start Messiah
|
| Yet we’re always yearning for the Lord’s returning
|
| We didn’t start Messiah
|
| No, the Israelites already prophesied Him
|
| Noah docked after that and he built an altar at
|
| A spot where it was dry and he probably lit a fire
|
| Seven pairs of animals that were clean were available
|
| Brought them for sacrifice — tell me what that symbolized
|
| Oh, oh
|
| But he’d hardly been there became drunk and lost his shirt
|
| Canaanites were past hope, Shem was blessed by Noah, though
|
| Who do Shemites be? |
| Abraham and then his seed
|
| Always check for types, bro, Melchizadek is one of those
|
| We didn’t start Messiah
|
| Yet we’re always yearning for the Lord’s returning
|
| We didn’t start Messiah
|
| No, the Israelites already prophesied Him
|
| Spent three days with Isaac, Abraham surmised if
|
| He killed him in faith then Yahweh still could raise him
|
| The Lord He saw the faith he had -- didn’t need to take the lad
|
| Showed him a ram — Abe said He’d provide the lamb
|
| Close call -- Isaac blessed Jacob, all his kids were next
|
| Jacob claimed that someday — one from Judah had to reign
|
| We didn’t start Messiah
|
| Yet we’re always yearning for the Lord’s returning
|
| We didn’t start Messiah
|
| No, the Israelites already prophesied Him
|
| Brother Joe, where’s he been? |
| In the depths and back again
|
| Big shot — who’d have thought God would raise Joe’s stock?
|
| Made a break to palace life, there he sat at Pharaoh’s right
|
| Highest ruler in the land, brothers did not understand
|
| Little Moses has arrived, government infanticide
|
| From Egypt Moses left, plagues, Passover kept
|
| Find a perfect lamb that’s pure
|
| Stripes of blood are on the door
|
| Rock with water, Yom Kippur
|
| I can tell ya many more
|
| We didn’t start Messiah
|
| Yet we’re always yearning for the Lord’s returning
|
| We didn’t start Messiah
|
| But when we are gone
|
| He will still live on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on
|
| We didn’t start Messiah
|
| Yet we’re always yearning since the Lord’s returning
|
| We didn’t start Messiah
|
| No, He isn’t hiding — if you try you’ll find Him
|
| We didn’t start Messiah
|
| Yet we’re always yearning since the Lord’s returning
|
| We didn’t start Messiah
|
| No, He isn’t hiding — if you try you’ll find Him
|
| We didn’t start Messiah
|
| Yet we’re always yearning since the Lord’s returning
|
| We didn’t start Messiah
|
| No, He isn’t hiding — if you try you’ll find Him |
