Nothing until I put the two together.After the overwhelming silence following my last post where I alerted people to my online vocal stylings I have decided that no news is good news and you actually enjoyed it. If this is true, it is nothing short of a miraculous work of the Holy Spirit. Perhaps it's simply my own delusion which would cause me to post the second song online from my lounge-room recording session.
For your listening displeasure, I now present to you Genesis 1-3 to the tune of Don McClean's American Pie.
Here.

Creation Rise (Genesis 1-3)
ReplyDeleteA long, long time ago
Right in the beginning
God created heavens and the earth
Then God said, “Let there be light
And darkness too we’ll call that night”
Evening. Morning. Days were given birth
The second day brought sky and water
The third land, trees, yet still he sought a
Crowning of creation
But let’s not get impatient
The fourth day, stars thrown from God’s hand
Then animals: sea, air and land
The sixth day he created man
God saw that all was grand
Oh my, my God’s a generous guy
Everything’s free but for one tree and it’s fruit you can’t try
It’s one simple rule of which you all must abide
Saying “Eat of it and you’ll surely die,
Eat of it and you’ll surely die.”
Now the earth was full of stuff
A command had come from God above
To care for that raised from the ground
Oh to animals he gave them names
But to Adam they all looked the same
For there was not a helper to be found
Well the next thing Adam’s feeling tired
Then God takes a rib from his insides
While Adam was asleep
And from it God made Eve
He was a lonely man in solitude
And then along came Eve and she changed the mood
They didn’t care that they were nude
Oh yes, God had a plan
They started singing
My, my God’s a generous guy
Everything’s free but for one tree and it’s fruit you can’t try
It’s one simple rule of which you all must abide
Saying “Eat of it and you’ll surely die,
Eat of it and you’ll surely die.”
Now the serpent was a crafty fiend
And slithered over and so said to Eve
“Can’t you eat from any tree?”
Well the fruit looked good even though she knew
That the Lord had sad it’s not for you
And they ate and changed all history
Oh and as their eyes were opened wide
They heard the Lord and ran to hide
Aware he was exposed
He knew he had no clothes
When the Lord said, “Man, explain yourself!”
The best defense came off the shelf
He passed the blame to someone else
But God saw through the scam
He started saying
My, my now you’re destined to die
Eve’s seduction means destruction by God taking their lives
And working the land, waving the garden goodbye
Saying, now we’ll never be satisfied
At least until our Saviour arrives
The things I wish I could undo
Cause now I need to be rescued
Now everything is not okay
I choose simply to ignore
And at times I’ve simply wanted more
Selfishness means there’s a debt that must be paid
And in the end I am unclean
I don’t deserve to be set free
But now that God has spoken
Christ fixes what is broken
And the only man in whom I’ll boast
Is Christ the Lord as heaven’s host
He’ll raise me when I am a ghost
And now I understand…
My, my we were destined to die
Until Jesus Christ who frees us from the chains of this life
He walked as a man, then died and now is alive
Praising he who took the death that was mine
He who took the death that was mine
My, my we were destined to die
Until Jesus Christ who frees us from the chains of this life
Who walked as a man, then died and now is alive
Praising he who took the death that was mine
GOLD!
