We Didn't Start Messiah (Parody of "We Didn't Start the Fire") - ApologetiX

Perfect humans, had it made, then they kind of went astray

Sought the serpent for their wisdom so they had to go

Though the Lord made a prediction

Soon the lady’d have some kids and

From her seed would come to be the Man who’d win my soul

So the Lord made some coverings that came from

Animals He skinned alive, animals that had to die

After that a bad scene, Cain has got a cruel scheme

Offering some old vegetables his sacrifice was nullified

We didn’t start Messiah

Yet we’re always yearning for the Lord’s returning

We didn’t start Messiah

No, the Israelites already prophesied Him

Though his brother’s plan was flawed

Abel had a lamb for God

Sacrificed it and God liked it, Cain was ticked off

Abel’s done, murder one, Adam and Eve had another son

Named him Seth now Cain has got a spot

Seth’s line, Cain’s seed, both left God as sin increased

They could not foresee the plan — salvation through just one man

But Noah knew a bit — wound up on a cruise ship

In the waves, they were saved, God knows what He’s doin'

We didn’t start Messiah

Yet we’re always yearning for the Lord’s returning

We didn’t start Messiah

No, the Israelites already prophesied Him

Noah docked after that and he built an altar at

A spot where it was dry and he probably lit a fire

Seven pairs of animals that were clean were available

Brought them for sacrifice — tell me what that symbolized

Oh, oh

But he’d hardly been there became drunk and lost his shirt

Canaanites were past hope, Shem was blessed by Noah, though

Who do Shemites be?

Abraham and then his seed

Always check for types, bro, Melchizadek is one of those

We didn’t start Messiah

Yet we’re always yearning for the Lord’s returning

We didn’t start Messiah

No, the Israelites already prophesied Him

Spent three days with Isaac, Abraham surmised if

He killed him in faith then Yahweh still could raise him

The Lord He saw the faith he had -- didn’t need to take the lad

Showed him a ram — Abe said He’d provide the lamb

Close call -- Isaac blessed Jacob, all his kids were next

Jacob claimed that someday — one from Judah had to reign

We didn’t start Messiah

Yet we’re always yearning for the Lord’s returning

We didn’t start Messiah

No, the Israelites already prophesied Him

Brother Joe, where’s he been?

In the depths and back again

Big shot — who’d have thought God would raise Joe’s stock?

Made a break to palace life, there he sat at Pharaoh’s right

Highest ruler in the land, brothers did not understand

Little Moses has arrived, government infanticide

From Egypt Moses left, plagues, Passover kept

Find a perfect lamb that’s pure

Stripes of blood are on the door

Rock with water, Yom Kippur

I can tell ya many more

We didn’t start Messiah

Yet we’re always yearning for the Lord’s returning

We didn’t start Messiah

But when we are gone

He will still live on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on

We didn’t start Messiah

Yet we’re always yearning since the Lord’s returning

We didn’t start Messiah

No, He isn’t hiding — if you try you’ll find Him

We didn’t start Messiah

Yet we’re always yearning since the Lord’s returning

We didn’t start Messiah

No, He isn’t hiding — if you try you’ll find Him

We didn’t start Messiah

Yet we’re always yearning since the Lord’s returning

We didn’t start Messiah

No, He isn’t hiding — if you try you’ll find Him
