Teacher of the Hebrews
A Jew of great devise
Savior of the Hebrews
Saved a Gentile damned as I
But Jewish hate made history
To cast her evil eye
They nailed You high upon that tree:
Disfigured and despised
Despite the Law held zealously
They watched You wail and die
Despite the Law held zealously
The age of grace arrived
This God that heals your fever
Is tampered with at length
He’ll dance a jig and whisper to ya,
“I’ll buddy-up as friend,
Your buddy-god and friend."
How’s this now for a Savior:
He bends to sinful men
To every filthy flavor
He deals a sweet "Amen!"
The Law of Moses warned you -
A Prophet, Priest and King was sent
The wrath of God will hold ya
Accountable and bent
O God, have mercy on our souls
We’re still but sinful men
With senses few and far from honed
We’ve held You in contempt
*Are we, the latter, now Your people,
The Jew to be denied?
The cross atop the highest steeple
Is but mangled truth and hype!
She's all mangled up inside
Teacher of the Hebrews, a Jew of great devise
Savior of the Hebrews saved a Gentile damned as I
