ApologetiX - Parable Guy lyrics

Verse 1) A long, long time ago I can still remember how amusing He could make things sound And I knew if I'd had my pen Then I should take notes even then And maybe then I'd have them for you now Every word He said was clever And every parable I remember Matthew has recorded And Luke I think has more yet I can't remember if I tried What I learned about in junior high But some things taught by Jesus Christ Remain refusing to die (Chorus) So)Bye, bye, Mr. Parable Guy Got my blessings Through the lessons Taught by heavens Messiah Them good old days of seeking wisdom divine Sittin' listenin' to the Parable Guy Listenin' to the Parable Guy (Verse 2) Did you like the book of Luke And do you like fables that are true If you'd like I'll tell you some Cause a true believer's crop is slow When seed gets wasted by the road In a steep and cloudy land will grow Well I know the storms will come again So don't start your mansion in the sand He won't pick off the fruits If that fig tree didn't produce And if a lonely widow won't give up She can make a case and win a wicked judge But the new wine is powerful stuff And it waits for you to try You got to drink it (Chorus) (Verse 3) Now if the shepherds sheep are all at home And one goes out on its own, alone But that not where it needs to be Won't the shepherd search for the missing sheep And of course, the woman does not sleep Until the coin that she came to find is retrieved And while his kid was getting down And spending all his money in town Of coarse his father yearned "I'm for him to return" And the wedding guests who don't get smart The Lord just catches them off guard And leaves them virgins in the dark The day the groom arrives Bell's were ringing (Chorus) (Verse 4) Selfish wealth It isn't going to help With barns stopped like a fallout shelter Grain piled high with all your cares The wedding has a lot of guests Today it's time for your formal best I suggest you follow guidelines when you dress Well at halftime there was work to do So the farmer payed another crew They all got payed in cash Oh but the jealous ones were mad And as the treasure finder takes the field The merchant says this j**el's a steel They'll lose it all for such a deal And pay the fullest price They got the kingdom (Chorus) (Verse 5) And then they were all in one place From every nation tongue and race With goats and lambs apart in place So come on drag the fish net Catch the fish Don't splash that on your candlestick Cause a flower with a lemons gonna' spread And as they robbed him on the way The man was left in disarray No neighbors stopped to help He couldn't save himself And as a stranger finally pulled aside And spied the battered Israelite I saw him save him gladly with delight And he made it through the night He was shrieking (Chorus) (Verse 6) Little children sang the blues They blasted forth some happy tunes But things just failed to turn their way "I went out and I made some more" Said the servant who got his reward But the man that made excuses couldn't pay And the wheat was filled with leaves Mustard climbed from the smallest seed All the birds were hopin' The birdhouse now was open The thing that I admire most Were all those funny parables They taught the lessons for the folks Whose faith was rooted in Christ Cause they were seeking (Chorus x2)
