letra de passover lamb - hazakim

[intro: max mclean]
the blood will be a sign for you on the houses where you are, and when i see the blood, i will p-ss over you. no destructive plague will touch you when i strike egypt

[verse 1: tony]
i just can’t understand why moses would ask us
all to get involved in this bizarre practice
in the past, the fact that we were hebrews
was sufficient, enough to keep the plagues distant
for instance, when darkness covered the land of the egyptians
three days, to we hebrew slaves light was given
and god did this without the death of a lamb
is this his command or the request of a man
calling himself a prophet? yeah, i know he’s a good leader
but he’s taking it too far, this is bizarre
as i remarked from the start, before pharaoh lets us go
you’ll more likely see the red sea part
i’m not putting blood on my door
what do i look like, a fanatic?
the rest of the people can have at it
my neighbor eliezer shared a lamb with me
i took half, tonight i’ll cook that and share with family
because if god performs a miracle tonight
who’s to say that pharaoh’s magicians won’t duplicate it?
it’s complicated, so as night falls i pray to god
that my firstborn will see another dawn

[mike]
i admit it’s a strange sight but tonight it’s on
i’m applying the blood to the door like moses warned
he said the house that lacks the blood there will be a curse on
from that house god will require the life of the firstborn
which refers to me ’cause i’m the first of three
i prepared the sacrifice with urgency
a year-old lamb without defect for my family slain
mix it with hyssop and apply the blood to my door frame
and though i don’t understand, i trust that
somehow redemption is found in the blood of the lamb
so with my staff in hand, i make haste
unleavened cakes are baked
and the herbs we eat leave a bitter taste
like the slavery we’ve endured for 400 years
but little brother, stand strong, and mother, dry your tears
’cause soon we’ll all be in the promised land
and this is all possible because of the blood of the lamb

[hook: tony & mike]
in the darkness of the night when the lord came down
he brought death to the house where the blood wasn’t found
but the man who believed, he was blessed indeed
’cause unto him was granted life to the firstborn seed
since then, pharaoh’s power has come to an end
yet mankind is still enslaved to sin
but there’s an exodus to the promised land
again, god has provided a p-ssover lamb

[verse 2: tony]
i just can’t understand why yeshua would say
no man took his life, but he gave it away
what kind of messiah is that? to receive blows
from his foes and let rome control without striking them back?
where’s the victory at for israel?
if he’s the messiah promised, i’ll be honest, i can’t tell
the man failed at fulfilling my expectations
of who the messiah was to be to the chosen nation
i’ve heard it said that it was prophesied
that messiah would be despised and rejected, suffer and die
for the sins of men and, get this! so say his proponents
his blood is an essential component for atonement
the concept of blood atonement sounds barbaric, to be honest
and doesn’t line up with my concept of who god is
the ten commandments, i can’t even keep the first one
but others are worse than me, overall i’m a good person
so in the afterlife i’ll just trust in my good deeds
althought my heart is filled with l-st and greed
the messiah need not bleed to pay for my sins
i’ll work my way into heaven, at least i pray i get in

[mike]
i admit it was strange to me when i first heard it
’cause i was told that messiah would come to make the earth perfect
thus the verdict was that yeshua was not the one
and the messiah was yet to come
until the day that curiosity led me to honestly study the prophecies
i saw aspects of messiah that weren’t taught to me
it was foretold not only would he come to provide peace
first the messiah would act as the high priest
providing atonement once and for all as daniel foresaw
while the temple stood, he would be cut off
isaiah gave the imagery of the lamb led to the slaughter
wounded for our sins, bruised for our iniquities
“it is he!” i exclaimed, “yeshua fits the description!”
god wouldn’t leave israel without a sacrificial system
he provided himself the lamb, yeshua the son of man
then he said to david’s lord, “come sit at my right hand”
by faith i believe it, thus life, i receive it
like the firstborn back in egypt
heed the words of john, who, in pointing to yeshua, declared
“behold the lamb of god!”

[hook: tony & mike]
at the end of the age when the lord comes down
he’ll bring death to the man on whom the blood isn’t found
but the man who believes will be blessed indeed
’cause unto him is granted life for eternity
pharaoh’s power has come to an end
yet mankind is still enslaved to sin
yet there’s an exodus to the promised land
so where do you stand with the p-ssover lamb?
