In my little time on earth I've come to understand a few things That Solomon was wise but ended up being foolish That Samson was powerful but died with his enemy That Judas was chosen but betrayed himself That Miriam was loving but ended up being proud Those Nadab & Abihu sons of the priest could offer strange fire That if like Joseph, my dreams could always come true not minding opposing forces That Moses with seeing God only saw Canaan land That Joshua with his status as a messenger could be separate That Gideon in the least town could be mighty and famous That the forsaken Jepthah could become a ruler over the haters That fear could get up with someone like Elijah That David could be King after everything That Daniel could excel in a strange land That Jeremiah the stammered could be a prophet That Hannah needed only one Shiloh to get Samuel That only one wholly no to Delilah might have saved Samson That you have to always flee from Potiphar’s wife That like Jehoshaphat you have to praise God only in face of impossibilities That like David only love for God would make you see insult to God as to you That even Prophet Samuel could be deceived by his eye That like Paul the prophet persecutor becoming a prophet present for perishing Gentiles That like Jesus, prayer and fasting is needed for journey through life That like Adam, i always needs to double question down my Eve & say no That if my Eve sins i shouldn’t blame her That i should not be jealous as Cain That like Abel i should drop the right offering That like God i should release my beloved for the gospel to the world That like Esther i should not forget where i come from That like Daniel and friends i should be ready to die for the truth That like Abraham i should know when to zip up That like lots wife i should not look back That like Lot i should protect strangers from harm That like Sarah i should not doubt That like Manoah i should not keep secret from my spouse That like Zechariah i should remain ever steadfast serving the Lord That like Hosea i should be ready to obey God at all cost That like Jonah i should not run from God That like the Apostles i should be obedient to my master That like Paul and Silas i should praise when prayer doesn't work That like Jesus should be ready to die for the gospel sake That like Eli i must correct my children That like Ophineas and Phineas, i shouldn’t make God people to sin through me That like Judah, my word must i keep when i give it out That like Thomas, i must ask God to show if i don't believe That like ruben, no matter how fine she is untouchable, should remain steadfast That like Jacob’s daughter i should not mix with the world That like asahel, i should respect elders That like Jacob, i should leave vengeance to God That like joseph, i should be forgiving and not forget family That like Moses, i should always respect my Aaron and Hur That like Jesus, i should go up to the mountain That like blond Batimeus, i should shout out That like John the Baptist, be mad to make difference That like jezebel, evil doesn’t pays That like Abraham, faith is needed in this short journey supposedly long That like prophet Aizah, i could stand out among lying prophets That like Phillip, i can light up a town for Jesus That like Stephen, i should see the prize and forget the pain But this one thing i never forget That with Jesus, i would be fishing men I’m more than conqueror I have dominion
