Sabbath Day's Quite Alright for Nice Things (Parody of "Saturday Night's Alright for Fighting" by Elton John) |
In Galilee we had a scene one day |
I’ll tell you what the Lord did here |
The Sabbath was clogged in the synagogue |
When a withered-handed fool appeared |
The poor man was sufferin' but the Pharisees did nothin' |
And they all waited for Jesus there |
But Jesus broke through their traditions and rules |
The hand once diseased He repaired |
Oh, don’t give us none of your regulations |
I’ve had it with you hypocrites |
Sabbath day’s quite alright for nice things -- get a little practice in |
Man, they’re gettin' spoiled now that Jesus came |
God just heals ‘em left and right |
And Sabbath day’s quite all right for Christ |
Sabbath day’s quite alright, alright, alright, ooh |
Well, her back was a sight, I’m being polite |
Was bendin' over double to half of her height |
Jesus loosed her crippled muscles there in Luke 13 |
After 18 years she straightened out and she was freed! |
A couple other times when the Sabbath was right |
Was a man with-a dropsy and a man born blind |
Peter’s feverish mother-in-law and a demoniac |
And Bethesda with the man who had the mat |
Oh, don’t give us none of your bad religion |
I’ve had it with you hypocrites |
Sabbath day’s quite alright for nice things get a little practice in |
Man, they’re gettin' spoiled now that Jesus came |
God just heals ‘em left and right |
And Sabbath day’s quite all right for Christ |
Sabbath day’s quite alright, alright, alright, ooh |
Mark 3: 4 «Then Jesus asked them, „Which is lawful on the Sabbath: |
to do good or to do evil, to save life or to kill?“ But they remained silent.» |
