A Healer’s Geste

Boy Music

Ok, in response to Elly’s comment on Jamie Soles, I just had to include these tidbits from his CD. Matt certainly does enjoy it! Ehud, after all, is one of his favorite Bible characters. :)

“Bad Guys” is a song with several parts — part 1 & 2 are on this CD. Here are two verses:

Jezebel;
She taught all Israel to worship Baal,
The faithful she’d crunch.
What a pill…
It makes me wonder if the dogs got ill
When they made her their lunch

Ahab raged;
He put the prophet in a prison cage
And continued his plot
In disguise, unknown to any but his Maker’s eyes,
Who is a good shot…

Each followed by the best part, the happy-perky chorus:

So may all your enemies perish
But let the righteous shine like the sun.
We are the friends of God and He will save us
Because we worship His Son.

Here’s the verse on Ehud from a song on the judges of Israel, to the tune of “God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen”:

Eglon king of Moab was as fat as he could be
His people conquered Israel and made them pay a fee
Ehud came with tribute and a message from the Lord
And then left-handed Ehud gave him eighteen inches of sword
And so Israel was delivered by the Lord
