Parody of "Hey Jude" performed by the Beatles and written by John Lennon & Paul McCartney
(Jude 1:1-25; Matthew 12:46-50, 13:55-56; Mark 3:21, 31-35; 6:3-4; John 7:5)
Take Jude ... he makes it fast
Take a second and read his letter
Remember
It's 25 verses long – so is this song
So pay attention
Take Jude ... both he and James
Were related to our Lord and Savior
They didn't
Believe their brother was Him – till He'd risen
But He forgave them
And when you're family feels you're strange
Like Jude and James
Don't worry; the Word of God has shown us
That those we know who think we're fools
And crazy kooks
They may just convert a little slower
La da da da da da da da da da
Take Jude ... it's written down
I have found it ... here's how you get there
Remember
That Revelation comes last ... right before that
They placed his letter
So get it out and read again, take Jude, dig in
Don't wait until Sunday School to learn it
But don't you know the gist of Jude?
Hey, dude – you should
Contend for the faith, because it's permanent
Take Jude ... go take his path
Take a stand as a faith defender
Remember
We played this song about him (oh!) so you'd begin
To read his letter
And ya – never – ever – better – forget it – now
C'mon and get it out now
Read it out loud – read Jude
C'mon and get it out now
Read it out loud – read Jude
(Well, you know you should read just what Jude verse number 3 says)
