God's Child in The Temple (song)

Childhood is such a creative and imaginative time, full of wonder and growth and learning. Children get plenty of nicks and bruises along the way of learning, but eventually they take those experiences and get shaped to be the grown-ups they become in the end. "When I was a child, I spoke like a child, I thought like a child, I reasoned like a child. When I became a man, I gave up childish ways." (1 Corinthians 13:11) In the same way that we grow physically from children to adults, we grow in the faith spiritually from newborn babes to mature believers in Christ. (1 Peter 2:2-3) Just as The Bible tells us through the gilded pages, we must learn to grow more and more like Jesus. And if God's Child's in the temple and in the Scriptures and in prayer, how much more must we be!

(Luke 2, 1 John 1:6, Acts 4:27, 1 Samuel 2:26, 1 Corinthians 13:11, 1 Peter 2:2-3)

Manger- where they laid down God's own Child
Saviour- dressed in swaddling clothes- meek and mild
Go on, bro- Luke 2 is just what this is based on
Mary and Joseph- they gave Him- for presentation

God's Child's in the city
God smiled on ol' Simeon
Saw God's Child- Anna's on (the) scene
Yeah
God's Child got a blessing

So long! He cut loose out on His own
Young Boy! Feast is done, they take off for home
When Jesus is found, the priests all stop and stare
While search is going down, they gawk- tween Jesus schooled 'em there
Yeah

God's Child's in the city
God's Child has gone missing
(They're) runnin' wild and looking for Him
Yeah
God's Child's in Dave's city

When He's found at God's House, baby- they balk at this stunt
"Knowest thou not My place must be (My) Father's House?"
(Dad's on the brain for Jesus) God's Child's on a mission! God's Child's in the city!
God's Child- He went missing! (Found Child) Found God's Child- just look in temple
(Found Child at the temple) God's Child 's in (the) vicinity!
(God's Child left with family) God's Child left with family
(God's Child was submitting) God's Child was submitting
(Grew wise and in favor) Grew wise and in favour
( (So) God's child- grow like Saviour!) - (So) God's child- grow like Saviour! (Oh!)
(God's Child!)

Biblical (song)

A lot of devils have gone out into the world-a lot of false prophets are out in the world. And we must always be on our guard. Test the spirits and see whether they're from God or not. In a world of constant communication and instant information to access, there is a lot of misinformation out there as well. And we must be able to tell The Truth from all the lies. The spiritual world that's unseen definitely affects our physical world. And while we're out in it, let's get Biblical and know The Scriptures which are able to make us wise for salvation through faith in Christ Jesus.

"Biblical" (parody of "Physical" by Olivia Newton-John; copyright by Nathan Ludwick 6/11/2014)
(Deuteronomy 4:2 and 6:1-25 and 12:32 and 13:1-4 and 18:14-22, Revelation 22:18-19, The book of Jude, Romans 12:1-2, Galatians 1:1-9, Joshua 1:1-9, Romans 16:17-20, 1 John 4:1-6, 2 Corinthians 11:13-15, 1 Peter 5:8-11, Matthew 7:15-20, Matthew 24:4-14 and 24:21-28, Ezekiel 13:6, Ezekiel 22:25-28, Psalms 119:9-11, John 8:32-36, Ephesians 6, 2 Peter 2:1-22, Matthew 13:1-43, Acts 17:10-11, Proverbs 30:5-9, 2 Timothy 1:14 and 2:15)

You're saying all the things that you know I'll like- flattery, smooth conversation
I gotta hang on to Truth of Christ- I know what you seek
You twist grace to mean "sin and just do what you want"- bend Truth to subjective reading
Add something else that "God left out"- 4:2- check in Deuteronomy

Chorus
Let's get Biblical, Biblical- I wanna get Scriptural- Press it in my frontal lobe
Let me hear from God- He talks! So God, please talk! Let me hear Your Word be taught!

(Repeat Chorus)

1[One] in Galatians- read it good! If we preach different- or an angel-
A different Word- they're condemned, man- Proverbs says in 19
The Word sown- understands- grows quite a few- there grows seed on the good soil, see?
You gotta know The Word's teaching- Watch out! The wolves dress as sheep!

Chorus 2
Let's get Biblical, Biblical- I wanna get Scriptural- Press it in my frontal lobe
Let men all have lying talk, but God- He's true. Let me hear His Word be taught.

(Repeat Chorus 2)

So don't get cynical, quizzical- I wanna get spiritual- Let The Holy Spirit show
Let we read 1 John 4:1- 'cause God- He taught- Test spirits- From God or not?

They're heretical animals- roaring, evil lion-o! Read it in Ezekiel!
22- The Word- it talks! Our God's distraught- Let we heed our God- He talks!

Let we hear our God- He talks!
Let we hear Your Word be taught!
