Young man, and his little boy
Sit around the Ancient Books
They talk of Hand-picked men of God
Who gave their lives for Truth
Peter, Paul, their vict’ries and toils
Thomas who touched the scars
He’s say, “Jesus really did love that John –
They must’ve had a bond like ours.”
They would go from land to land,
Anointed by God’s own hand
They’d tell the story, the sacred story
Evangelion, Evangelion
God’s Kingdom is here to stay
To the death, we’ll teach the one Way
Evangelion
Haggard men, at the end of a work day
Sit around a cup of ale
They talk of life, and the lack of its purpose
The man sees a chance to tell
“Daddy, are you comin to my game tonight?”
“No, son, I’ve been detained –
I’ll tuck you in later, you can tell me all about it,
But my work here still remains”
He would go from land to land
Anointed by God’s own hand
He’d tell the story, the sacred story
Evangelion, Evangelion
God’s Kingdom is here to stay
To the death, we’ll teach the one Way
Evangelion
Older man, and his older boy
Sit around the kitchen table
“Dad, I think it’s time that you slow down”
“Oh, no, I won’t, as long as I am able
I don’t believe we should ever retire
There’s too much harvest in the field
To the jail I go tonight, the prison tomorrow
Then to God, my seed I yield”
Out into the world, be round or flat
The Savior touched his soul and lit his path
Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, and teaching them to obey. And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age
Evangelion, Evangelion
God’s Kingdom is here to stay
To the death, we’ll teach the one Way
Evangelion
Young man and his little girl
Sit around the Ancient Books
They talk of Hand-picked men of old
And of the old man, and the boy he raised
Who’d sit around the Ancient Books
