So Long, Moses

歌詞

So long, Moses Hello, Promised Land It was a long, long road But your people are home So long, Moses Hello, Joshua Goodbye, Canaanites We're coming to town Twelve tribes and no crown No crown, Oh Lord We want a king on a throne Full of power, with a sword in his fist Will there ever be, ever be a king like this? Hello, Saul First king of Israel You were foolish and strong So you didn't last long Goodbye, Saul Hail, King David Shepherd from Bethlehem Set the temple of God In mighty Jerusalem He was a king on a throne Full of power, with a sword in his fist Has there ever been, ever been a king like this? Full of wisdom, full of strength, the hearts of the people are his Hear, O Israel, was ever there a king like this? Hello, prophets The kingdom is broken now The people of God Have been scattered abroad How long, O Lord? So speak, Isaiah Prophet of Judah Can you tell of the One This king who's going to come Will he be a king on a throne Full of power with a sword in his fist? Prophet, tell us will there be another king like this? Full of wisdom, full of strength, The hearts of the people are his Prophet, tell us will there be another king like this? "He'll bear no beauty or glory Rejected, despised A man of such sorrow We'll cover our eyes He'll take up our sickness Carry our tears For his people He will be pierced He'll be crushed for our evils Our punishment feel By his wounds We will be healed." "From you, O Bethlehem Small among Judah A ruler will come Ancient and strong."
