Andrew Peterson - So Long, Moses lyrics
[Andrew Peterson - So Long, Moses lyrics]
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
Will there 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
Has there 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
They've been scattered abroad
For how long, O Lord?
Oh, 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? And Isaiah said:
"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
And carry our tears and for His people
He will be pierced
"He'll be crushed for our evils
Our punishment feel and by His wounds
We will be healed we will be healed
"From you, O Bethlehem small among Judah
A ruler will come ancient and strong
"From you, O Bethlehem small among Judah
A ruler will come ancient and strong
"From you, O Bethlehem small among Judah
A ruler will come ancient and strong
"From you, O Bethlehem small among Judah
A ruler will come ancient and strong
Ancient and strong"
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
Will there ever be a king like this?
