Lift Up The Suffering Symbol (The Beginning Album Version) - Michael Card[00:00:00]
They grew tired of bread form heaven[00:00:11]
And of Moses and of God[00:00:14]
They longed to live the life of slavery once again[00:00:16]
So they muttered and they grumbled[00:00:23]
And they wimpered and they whined[00:00:25]
With each faithless word sank deeper into sin[00:00:28]
He took the pen of pain once more[00:00:34]
To write upon their hearts[00:00:37]
The lesson they had been so slow to learn[00:00:40]
But writing in the sand the firey serpents came to call[00:00:46]
With a holy message and a bite that burned[00:00:51]
Lift up the suffering symbol[00:00:57]
And placve it high upon a pole[00:00:59]
Tell the children to look up and be made whole[00:01:02]
So Moses made a metal snake[00:01:17]
And nailed it to a pole[00:01:20]
Sent out the saving word so they would know[00:01:23]
That the symbol of their suffering was now the focus of their faith[00:01:28]
And with a faithful glance the healing power would flow[00:01:34]
In time the brazen serpent became an idol in the land[00:01:40]
And they left the living God to worship clay[00:01:45]
When they forgot their suffering[00:01:51]
Soon true faith had disappeared[00:01:54]
So some idolize a brazen cross today[00:01:56]
Lift up the suffering symbol[00:02:03]
And place it high upon a pole[00:02:05]
Tell the children to look up and be made whole[00:02:08]
Lift up the suffering symbol[00:02:14]
And place it high upon a pole[00:02:16]
Tell the children to look up and be made whole[00:02:19]
Lift up the suffering symbol[00:02:49]
And place it high upon a pole[00:02:51]
Tell the children to look up and be made whole[00:02:54]
Lift up the suffering symbol[00:03:00]
And place it high upon a pole[00:03:02]
Tell the children to look up and be made whole[00:03:05]
Tell the children to look up and be made whole[00:03:11]
