The Historical Books
CAP’N PETE
If you open the Old Testament and read it categorically
You’ll find a dozen books that we are meant to read historically
SUNDAY SCHOOL LADY
They tell the tales of Israel There’s nothing metaphorical
And that is why these books are in a section called historical!
IAN
Oh! Joshua and Judges! And Ruth and both the Samuels!
CLIVE
First and Second Kings in front of First and Second Chronicles!
IAN
Ezra, Nehemiah, and now there’s just one more to fall…
CLIVE
ESTHER is the final of the books we call HISTORICAL!
SUNDAY SCHOOL LADY
And what do we learn from these books?!?
BROTHER LOUIE
That God’ll keep his promises! Always and forevermore! And he is ALWAYS with us! No matter what might be in store!
CHUCK WAGGIN
But from these books, the lesson learned – That peace with God cannot be earned!
From Joshua to Nehemiah What they need is a Messiah!
CAP’N PETE
So… As we’re wrappin’ up our journey through the books we call historical
CLIVE
We’ll ask another question – and no, it’s not rhetorical.
BROTHER LOUIE
Do you think that you are good enough all on your own to get to God?
SUNDAY SCHOOL LADY
Or have you learned from Israel that humankind is badly flawed?
CLIVE
Though they tried a thousand years they couldn’t right their wrong behavior
IAN
And that is why – for you and I – The ANSWER is a SAVIOR!
ALL
Yes that is why, for you and I, the ANSWER is a SAVIOR!
