Michael Card - Jubilee Lyrics
They grew tired of bread form heavenAnd of Moses and of GodThey longed to live the life of slavery once againSo they muttered and they grumbledAnd they wimpered and they whined;With each faithless word, sank deeper into sinHe took the pen of pain once moreTo write upon their heartsThe lesson they had been so slow to learnBut writing in the sand, the firey serpents came to callWith a holy message and a bite that burnedChorus:Lift up the suffering symbolAnd placve it high upon a poleTell the children to look up and be made wholeSo Moses made a metal snake,And nailed it to a poleSent out the saving word so they would knowThat the symbol of their suffering was now the focus of their faithand with a faithful glance, the healing power would flowIn time the brazen serpent became an idol in the landAnd they left the living God to worship clayWhen they forgot their sufferingSoon true faith had disappearedSo some idolize a brazen cross todayChorus(X4)Tell the children to look up and be made whole
