chain on my wrist that I stumbled and
fell the soldier drew his sword now I

warned they are coming why what is this

Judea is being taxed in punishment of
the recent revolt we must drive his
Roman beasts out of our land but what
can we do without a leader to turn to

distant from us but father when they

them not now but we ought to begin to
prepare ourselves and we are prepared is
not the Lord with us always our only
duty is to follow his holy law as you're
a scholar scribe as you will be but we
need a king in Israel is it not written
that someday there will come a messiah
to deliver us someday we need the
Messiah now when the time is right he
will come wearing the crown of David and
with the sword of David in his hand yes
since he created his people the Lord has
not deserted us he has seen us through a
thousand tribulations slavery oppression
poverty the hatred of parents do you
think he will abandon us now I have no
