Parody of "Crocodile Rock” performed by Elton John and written by Elton John & Bernie Taupin
(John 5:1-15)
I remember when God's own Son
Made Jerusalem so much fun
On a mat I'd sit and moan
At the pool Bethesda
Had an ache in bones
But I didn't think I'd ever walk
With too many things always blocking my thoughts
While the other geezers talked about the Law
Jesus stopped and He taught me how to walk with my God
Well
Talk about walking!
The docs are shocked ‘cause now my feet just can't keep still
They never knew people paralyzed could be blessed while they're so ill
Oh, the Lord He taught me the time was right
So sue the lawyers, let them fight
I'm walkin' ‘cause I found the Christ
Na
Na-na-na-na-na
Na-na-na-na-na
Na-na-an-na-na
Well, the years went by and I walk just fine
You can learn a lesson from the storyline
John 5 writes about the wretch that I'd been
Jesus' love has saved me from my old routine
But I never will be still because
Serving God is a hundred-mile walk
Turning back is a weak man's act
I will pick up the cross and I'll walk the path
Well
REPEAT CHORUS
I remember when God's own Son
Made Jerusalem so much fun
On a mat I'd sit and moan
At the pool Bethesda
Had an ache in bones
But I didn't think I'd ever walk
With too many things always blocking my thoughts
While the other geezers talked about the Law
Jesus stopped and He taught me how to walk with my God
Well
REPEAT CHORUS
