Retell - Tell a Story Lyrics

20 Kings the north turned out
They worshiped other gods and that's no doubt
In the south there were 19 Kings and Athaliah the devilish Queen
Most Kings could not control their lust for power women and the gold dust
So what's the fuss, why so angry Lord

They followed practices that I the Lord forbid them not to do
Ignore the prophets whom the Word was sent
Wed the women that would only bring contempt
Oppress the people after I said, "No
Made friends with all their foes, woe
Forgot my Word and never sought Me out
Rushed into battle didn't listen for My battle shout
I gave the plans to be followed to a "T
Some Kings just went ahead and didn't follow Me

Whatcha' know about 1st and 2nd Kings
Old testament crazy interesting
It's the story 'bout the heads of the land
Will they follow the Lord or will they go

Why so angry Lord, what's the big to do

Ignore the prophets whom the Word was sent
Wed the women that would only bring contempt
Oppress the people after I said, "No
Made friends with all their foes, woe
Forgot my Word and never sought Me out
Rushed into battle didn't listen for My battle shout
I gave the plans to be followed to a "T
Some Kings just went ahead and didn't follow Me

That's 1st and 2nd Kings kings
That's 1st and 2nd Kings kings
That's 1st and 2nd Kings kings
That's 1st and 2nd Kings kings
