Killer (song)

As a Halloween and Reformation Day treat, I thought these next two songs would be appropriate. This is sort of my Hell and Heaven suite. The first one is about one of the scariest figures in The Bible- the devil himself! The world paints a lot of false images and ideas about him, but the world doesn't know jack, son. The Bible gives us information about that old serpent throughout its pages and sometimes thinking about his and his demons' evil workings in the world can be more frightening than reading the latest Stephen King thriller. But even though he is a thief, destroyer and killer, we don't need to fear Him when we're in Christ because we know the One who has defeated sin, death, Hell, the demons and the devil. And in the end, his doom is sure- one little word shall fell him.

(Genesis 3, Revelation 12, Ephesians 6, Zechariah 3, Matthew 4, Isaiah 14, Ezekiel 28, John 8:32-36, Job 1-2, James 4:7, 2 Corinthians 11:3 and 13-15, 1 John 4:4, 2 Corinthians 4:4, John 8:39-47, Luke 10:17-20, John 10:10, Genesis 4:1-7, 1 Peter 5:8-9, 2 Corinthians 6:2, Matthew 16:21-23, Romans 8:11, Romans 10:9-13, Revelation 20, Romans 16:20, Revelation 20:10)

He's closed in his sights and something evil's lurking in the garden
Pumping half-truth/lies, Lucifer's trying to just sow doubts in hearts
Adam and Eve- what terrors will resound after you taste it!
Now Earth's diseased- with horror, look how you bought all the lies
You're penalized!

'Cause he's a killer, thief and liar!
And God's Son's gonna save you from the beast though His heel he'll strike
You know it's written- Genesis line
3:15 prophesies that Christ will crush the snake's head- that's right!

You read some more- bam! Ezekiel shares from where he did come
"You were in Eden- anointed as a guardian cherub"
You chose thug life- you know that this is just in 28, son
You were exiled when there was evil creeping up inside
You're out on your behind

'Cause you were filled with killer pride
O Day Star, son of Dawn- Isaiah chapter 14 writes
You said, "I will be like Most High"
Your flight has been denied because Jehovah's always Most High

The devil's fall-
12 Revelation gives a pass backstage
Third go with Satan in star wars of Heaven- 4th. line
(The demons' side)
Since the dragon's tail swung wide

They're out to get you- those demons and dragon- 17 line
They will possess you unless you take The Saviour's offer now
Now is the time- go 2nd. Corinthians 6:2- it's there
All through The Christ- He'll save you from the terrors of your sin
He'll make you clean

'Cause He was killed for sinners' plight
And Christ's life was restored by Holy Ghost
Romans 8:11- right!
World, there's a killer, thief and liar!
Won't quit 'til out of time- serpent's a-accuser, tempter, imitator angel of light!

Read in 1st. Peter 5:8- right!
The lion roars at your door- 4 Genesis
The 7th. verse mind
World-roaming killer still at large
So let's read Romans line 16 verse 20- God wins!

(Background vocals: He's gonna school him- that's right!)

(Spoken:)
Dark forces trawl across the land
The midnight hour draws closer at hand
(Since) devil's fall, he's out for blood
To tempt mankind- call evil good
And whosoever shall be found
Without their soul's name written down
In Lamb's Book of Life- they're bound for hell
Those bought by Christ- to joy eternal

(Background vocals: I'm in The Lamb's Book of Life! Will ya be?)

(Spoken:)
Look out! Resist temptings- (and) beware!
He'll run as 4:7 James shares
1 Peter too- Read 5:9- boom!
The God within you's greater too!
And though snake fights to sway your mind
Adversary's marked for Gehenna
For more, read John's Apocalypse
'Cause He will burn forever!

(Ah ha ha ha!)
(Laughter and fade)

"Promised Land, By Faith Receive" (song)

Well, time to open another can of creativity (and/or inanity) and listen to it fizz. I know you've been bucking for another parody song and of course, there's no passing the buck (or bucks) here. ;-)
It's all for free and fun and ultimately for God's glory- just as Jesus made Heaven to be. We all start in sin and follow after that path until God intervenes and sends someone to tell us about Christ and His sacrifice on the cross. When we are presented with the facts ...of our sinfulness and need for the Savior, we have to make a choice- it's time for making our minds up. We can either choose to ignore God's free offer of salvation through faith in Jesus' death and Resurrection (and thus inherit death and punishment in Hell) or we can choose to accept God's free offer and an inheritance in the Promised Land of Heaven; I implore you- by faith, receive!

"Promised Land, By Faith Receive"

(Matthew 19:16-30, 2 Peter 3:8-15, 2 Corinthians 6:2, Romans 5:8, Revelation 3:20, Romans 10:8-13, John 10:1-18, Matthew 5:17, Matthew 7:12-14, Joshua 24:15, Matthew 10:28, Romans 10:4, Romans 1:16-17, Romans 2-3, Matthew 25, Habakkuk 2:4, Matthew 13:1-30, John 12:24-26, John 3:16-21, Romans 3:23 and Romans 6:23)

Start- you arrive, little one
Where do you want to be?
Heaven's gates- we all hope
To land on golden streets

Shepherd's rapping at your heart's door
Goatly voices prick your will to come and play

But for straw, the wheat must die first
So you're torn with cares all lined up
Tempter's ever after
he's gunning out for you, babe

Run with The Son, little one
You're an outlaw 'cause of sin
Christ will save- Take His hand
He's redeemed us by His plan
(For) Promised Land, by faith believe!

Something nasty in the Garden baiting
Adam (and) Eve- sin came and grabbed their hearts

Try to go but it won't let you
Don't you know thief's out to kill you, honey?
Steal (and) destroy you
he's running after you, babe

Run with The Son, little one
You're without law- still in sin
Time to change- choose your stand
Either with God or with sin
Play your hand and make beliefs

The Lord's returning-
Trust Christ today!
Or be in burning fire for always

Then, no excuse- you and I
We deserve this- just to die
Romans 10- rescue plan!
Win the Treasure close at hand
Beforehand He's paid- believe!

Take His hand- by faith believe!

Run for The Son, little one!
Christ lived out Law once for all
Christ the real Superman
He died for us while we sinned
Rose again and made our peace

Run with The Son, little one
He's end of Law- Romans 10
Righteousness- imputed to man
Trust in Jesus while you can
(For) Promised Land, by faith believe!

(Spoken:) (But God commends His love for we,
In Romans 5 verse 8 you'll see
He gave His Son who died and rose
For sinners too- praise Christ The Lord!)
