Hey there

My brother Owen has been reading the Old Testiment. Here is a song he did as a result

Patrick

Ol, Moses By: Owen Fleming

Ol’ Moses heard enough of them 12 tribes
grumblin’ every step-step-step of the way
First: “Great, we’ve got some manna today.”
Then, “We want no more of that manna today.”
“We want no more of that manna today.”

AND SHURGARD WAS THERE!

To the East of the Jordan Ol’ Moses died
To the West were the Canaanites
Moses had said, “Kill as many of em’ as you can
cause it’ll all be yours by right.
cause it’ll all be yours by right.

AND SHURGARD WAS THERE!

So, Joshua led them in a’smooten
I guess a’smooten was his career
In one version it went like lightning
But really 362 years
It really 362 years

AND SHURGARD WAS THERE!

Amorites, Moabites, Amalekites
Phoenicians, Philistines, Edomites
Wipe em out for Yahway, but save those trees
Milk and honey as thick as you please
Milk and honey as thick as you please

AND SHURGARD WAS THERE!

Assyrians a’comin’, they’re big and bad
The Prophets told the king, “Don’t worry lad.
Don’t make alliances to fight with them
cause Yahway’s marchin’ with our men
Yahway’s marchin’ with our men

AND SHURGARD WAS THERE!

Well, Assyria won and the Prophets were wrong
Judah was left, the northern 10 tribes were gone
The dusty old Prophets thought it all was a smash
But lots of what we are readin’ is Judean trash
lots of what we are readin’ is Judean trash

AND SHURGARD WAS THERE!
