The Jewish Bible
Words and music by TT Patterson
In the be-gin-ning, Ge-ne-sis,
Now let my peo-ple Ex-o-dus.
A book of laws, Le-vi-ti-cus,
And Num-bers is a book of lists:
Deu-ter-on-o-my then closes
Torah, the Five Books of Mo-ses,
Josh-ua, Jud-ges fight their foes, as
Ruth is faith-ful, marries Bo-az.
First and Se-cond Sa-muel tell,
How Saul lost out to Da-vid, well,
Then First and Se-cond Kings re-bel,
And violence came and king-doms fell!
Two Chro-ni-cles, the kingdoms fray,
But Ez-ra led them back one day;
Ne-he-mi-ah taught them how to stay
And Es-ther saved the Jews from Ha-men (A-men!)
Job com-plained his friends were nas-ty,
David wrote his Psalms to last, he
Had a son who was down-cast,
Who wrote Pro-verbs, Ec-cle-si-as-tes.
Song of So-lo-mon lov-ers wed,
I-sai-ah saw good things a-head,
Je-re-mi-ah wept and pled.
For La-men-ta-tions were his bread.
E-ze-kiel saw bones live a-gain,
Da-niel faced the li-on's den,
Ho-se-a warned of sow-ing wind,
And Jo-el saw God's spir-it giv'n.
A-mos said choose good, don't perish,
O-ba-di-ah's words, the rarest,
Jo-nah spent three nights in a fish,
Mi-cah asked "what does the Lord wish?"
Na-hum warned As-sy-ri-a,
Ha-ba-kuk's feet tread-ed high'r,
"Judgement comes,"said Zeph-an-i-ah,
Hag-ga-i and Zech-a-ri-ah.
Com-ing last is Mal-ach-i,
To say the day of God draws nigh.
Don't ask oh when, oh where, oh why?
Don't ask oh why, oh when, oh where?
Just pre-pare,
Just pre-pare,
Just pre-pare!
