Kanakuk (yep,yep), Reppin’ the number 1 gospel (here we go, here we go), book of Matthew…first on the scene, Here’s the summery, hold on …hope is on the way
Let’s kick it off with the number 1 gospel
The life of Jesus, prophecy fulfilled
Book of Matthew first on the scene
Grab that belt of Truth and pull up them jeans
Genealogy is what I’m talkin’ about
Abraham, David, and Messiah no doubt
Bethlehem’s the spot on a one star night
A star was born to make the world right
His Birth offered hope the chance to be new
But Herod got jealous and gathered his crew
Things got crazy, to Egypt they bounced
Escape was the plan ‘cause His time wasn’t now
So throw up the peace sign & hit the road
Nazareth became this Carpenter’s home
What a wild ride for the life of a kid
As a child just think about all that He did
(CHORUS)
Throw your hands up, wave palms in the sky
Here comes the King, to die for you and I
This is His life, Gospel proclaimed
No shame in our game we shout out His name
SAVIOR, MESSIAH, REDEEMER, The KING
SAVIOR, MESSIAH, REDEEMER, The KING
Well it’s back to the story and the journey goes on
He jumped in the Jordan got Baptized by John
It was time to grow up and learn the master plan
Off to the Wilderness He went as a man
Just like we’re Tempted, Satan tempted Him too
But He stood on the Word and rejected that fool
Back in Nazareth He faced more Rejection
Rolled to Capernaum then made His Selection
12 disciples on the God Squad
Fishermen & tax-collectors seemed kinda odd
But they started following, & Jesus was teachin’
Sermon on the Mount you know He was preachin’
To the armies of people, be all you can be
Salt and light, love your enemies
No worries, be fruitful, don’t judge be relatin’
He healed the lame & took Power over Satan
(CHORUS)
Well the hits keep comin’ and the Parables Start
Weeds, seeds, & nets speak to the heart
Then from illustrations life got real
Disciples were freakin’, so A Storm Jesus Stilled
He walked on the water & fed 9 thousand
When the Crowd was Filled, Jesus started askin’
Who you say I am, …Testify Peter
Uda Christ, Son of God, & Lord I need ya
Jesus lit up at the Transfiguration
God spoke and shared His Son w/ the nations
Jerusalem was the next destination
Triumphal Entry was the situation
But when He arrived people were trippin’
He had to Clean house ‘cause the Temple was slippin’
His actions raised questions as did parables told
Pharisees plotted and Judas got rolled
(Chorus)
Ding,Ding,Ding it’s Dinner time
It’s the Last Supper, last verse of my rhyme
Gethsemane the spot where Jesus Prayed
A kiss on the cheek and He was Betrayed
Corrupt legal system, Tried and Denied
The case was locked up, He was Crucified
Consider the mocking and flogging he took
Hours on the cross described in this book
Final words He shouted, He gave heaven a look
The curtain was torn, and then the earth shook
The sins of the world, all debts were paid
A King for the pawns, in the grave He laid
The rock at the tomb was rolled away
Death couldn’t Hold Him, He got more to say
Christ Resurrected that’s where we stand
And if you’re down with the King then lift up your hands
Throw your hands up, Throw your hands up
(Chorus)
That’s the book of Matthew…lock it up (yeah)
