Haven't You Read? Lyrics

Okay Lucifer you've seen the evidence

Of his faith So all else is irrelevant

This one is mine He gave his life to me

So I recommend that you leave him be

Haven't you read that all you need

Is faith as small as a mustard seed?

Is it necessary that I underscore

Where sin abounds grace abounds the more?

Get behind me Satan Get out of my presence

I'm casting you out of the heavens

In fact you'd best leave yourself before I begin

Expressing my fury for causing my little ones to sin

Surely not God A toddler's prayer?

That is ridiculous This is unfair!

How can that childish moment count?

Why I'd say it's tantamount

To cosmic child abuse to let

The words of one who is not yet

Even able to read translate

Into an everlasting fate

For God so loved the world that he gave his only begotten son

That whosoever/ whosoever/ whosoever

Believeth in him should not perish but have everlasting life

Ahem that objection is just my first

The next returns to the need for 'works'

We've already looked at his record of sin

And it says in First Corinthians Six Verse Ten

That no-one with the sort of record he's got

Can possibly inherit the kingdom of God

For by grace / grace / grace

are ye saved through faith;

And that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God:

Not of wor𝔨s lest any man should boast

Oh my God would you please stop making

That horrible noise—my ears are aching

I think we need to take at least one more look

At his catalogue of evils Let's re-open the book

Wait I don't understand what's going on!

The pages are blank! His sins are all gone!

He cancelled/ cancelled/ cancelled

The record of the charges against us

And too𝔨 it away by nailing it to the cross

Haven't you read that all you need

Is faith as small as a mustard seed?

Is it necessary that I underscore

Where sin abounds grace abounds the more?

Get behind me Satan Get out of my presence

I'm casting you out of the heavens

In fact you'd best leave yourself before I begin

Expressing my fury for causing my little ones to sin

Now son come here—they call you Solomon don't they?

You made it! Well done—now we'll dance the night away

But before the party starts I have to say this directly—

Solomon you wasted your life Abjectly

I had so many good works prepared specifically for you

I had such great and glorious things planned that you could do

There was a unique individual calling and destiny

Which involved so much more than just this clemency

But alas you missed it! You completely failed to enter in

To the fullness! – Oh well at least now you can begin!
