Lyrics
I'm going to be reading a passage from the book of Romans to you
Today and asking you questions about it as well because there are
Lots that apply even though they're in different parts of Scripture
And so we want us to have both books open at once here for easy
Reference so we can see where it says something about the church
And what Paul said to them there as well in his letters that will
Help his message stick with them long after he has left earth
But let me ask these important basic facts first
Before diving into Scripture: The book of Romans
Began life on Earth sometime between 100 B.C.
Until A.D.
60 Or simply C.E., which stands for "in Christ." The first
Book of the New Testament was written by Paul between about
90 And 100 B.C., so roughly two thousand years ago now
In those early days when Jesus walked across this planet
Full time doing good work, God used people like Paul who
Had heard from him by word of mouth all over Jerusalem how
Much they loved Christ too but didn't quite understand exactly
What He taught yet either personally nor intellectually
These people gathered together one day when they heard from Jesus'
Friends how much he loved God's law and wanted His followers to
Love him just like He had taught His followers many years before
Him: "You shall not take a man's wife if she has already given birth
" This was called purity day where everyone went together into
Jerusalem every year for three days starting right after Passover
Until everyone could hear each other pray and sing songs together
Joyfully praising God with their hearts and showing off all sort
Of gifts sent down among men by heaven which included singing
Dancing, playing instruments — anything you might find fun today
Making merry and giving offerings to god because everything came
Directly from Heaven through Christ
Who lived amongst us once upon earth
We know now thanks to modern science that most likely
Means between 50 and 100 A.D., roughly half-a-century ago
When Christians gathered every year since then throughout
History up through present times still celebrating Purity
Day knowing their heavenly father knows best helping themselves
Remember always one thing no matter whether anyone else
Remembers Him back: They were chosen first then later added
To those special group known only to be saved believers
As Peter said earlier...
"Come out of the water you men who are but flesh and blood." He said
It again later when he addressed himself directly with these words...
Now while most believers believed everything John proclaimed
Concerning himself being sent only half-baked information flowed back
Towards Peter asking questions concerning himself again telling
Others later regarding anything other than himself regarding others
While still believing John though some believed both were true since
Neither side wanted anyone else left behind thinking either way would
Lead nowhere good news always comes late according to tradition
Saying something doesn't change things till its true meaning really
Hits home afterwards causing change everywhere including within
Themselves welcoming salvation again letting out joyous praise giving
Offerings made whole instead feeling broken inside knowing better
Than wronged rather trying hard live free finally realizing freedom
Found everlasting life partaking fully eternity everlasting
Freedom found peace finally realizing love eternal happiness
Made whole instead feeling broken inside knowing better than
Wronged rather trying hard live freely eternally enduring
Lasting peace finding happy ever after rejoicing forever
Rejoicing in God's love for them and each other finally realizing
Eternal happiness enduring lasting peace finding happy ever after
Joyously singing praises happily singing praise forever more
