In days of old
It was often told
By prophets to men
Messiah would come
And would be slain
To save them from sin.
Even so the wicked
Dared Almighty God
Building idols as icons
Of worship as they trod
Disbelieving and deceiving
Lost in selfish pride.
The Israelites so ungrateful
For God’s provisions too
Fleeing to lands unknown
Away from God and home.
Finding destruction in seduction
And found left all alone.
Daniel joined in the Lion’s den
By One most Holy of all men
Carried the message to his tribe
My God lives, He still abides.
A God of power and the law
But Messiah’s coming is nigh.
More prophets did for tell
The coming of Him as well
But were scorned and died
Even though they tried
To convince them all
They died with sin and gall.
