So Long Moses

Andrew Peterson

So long, Moses 
Hello, Promised Land 
It was a long, long road 
But your people are home 
So long, Moses 

Hello, Joshua 
Goodbye, Canaanites 
We're coming to town 
Twelve tribes and no crown 
No crown, Oh Lord 

We want a king on a throne 
Full of power, with a sword in his fist 
Will there ever be, ever be a king like this? 

Hello, Saul 
First king of Israel 
You were foolish and strong 
So you didn't last long 
Goodbye, Saul 

Hail, King David 
Shepherd from Bethlehem 
Set the temple of God 
In mighty Jerusalem 

You were a king on a throne 
Full of power, with a sword in his fist 
Has there ever been, ever been a king like this? 
Full of wisdom, full of strength, the hearts of the people are his 
Hear, O Israel, was ever there a king like this? 

Hello, prophets 
The kingdom is broken now 
The people of God 
Have been scattered abroad 
How long, O Lord? 

So speak, Isaiah 
Prophet of Judah 
Can you tell of the One 
This king who's going to come 

Will he be a king on a throne 
Full of power with a sword in his fist? 
Prophet, tell us will there be another king like this? 
Full of wisdom, full of strength, 
The hearts of the people are his 
Prophet, tell us will there be 
another king like this? 

"He'll bear no beauty or glory 
Rejected, despised 
A man of such sorrow 
We'll cover our eyes 

He'll take up our sickness 
Carry our tears 
For his people 
He will be pierced 

He'll be crushed for our evils 
Our punishment feel 
By his wounds 
We will be healed." 

"From you, O Bethlehem 
Small among Judah 
A ruler will come 
Ancient and strong."
