Parody of "Back in the U.S.S.R." by The Beatles (Matthew 5:17, Galatians 3:24-25, 2 Timothy 3:16) Ooh I finally finished readin' the O-L-D Hebrew Testament last night All the way I prayed that God would have mercy Man, I'm glad that we've got Christ I'm back in the New Testament You don't know what you got till it's gone, boy Back in the New Testament Genesis was long -- I hardly noticed it Gee, it didn't seem that long Three weeks later on I'm stuck in Exodus Wonderin' what the heck went wrong I'm back in the New Testament With Matthew, Mark, Luke and then John, boy Acts of the Apostles, next the Epistles Last the Apocalypse of John Well, the Jewish laws came from God's own mouth Please don't get me wrong But God's own Son came to live 'em out He told us that in Ma-ma-matthew 5 verse 17 all along I'm back in the New Testament We're only half done with this song, boy Back in the New Testament Well, you can't have Jesus Christ without The Old Testament The Law was given to point sin out And lead us all to Christ - Galatians 3:24-25, my oh my Moses' laws, the Psalms and Prophets they all count Take them as your Daddy's word Genesis through Malachi - I read them all But admit that I prefer To be back in the New Testament You don't know what you got till it's gone, boy Back in the New Testament *NOTE: To get this song to rhyme correctly, whenever the word "Testament" appears in the chorus, you should pronounce it like this: "Test-a-MONT," so it sounds kind of French. Try it; it works! When the word appears in the verse, just pronounce it the regular way. Matthew 5:17 "Do not think that I have come to abolish the Law or the Prophets; I have not come to abolish them but to fulfill them."
