Apologetix Hundred Nineteenth Psalm
[Verse 1]
Tucked in the center, like a surprise
You'll see a Psalm with earth-shaking size
Doot doot do doot doot do doot doot do doot doot do doot doot do
Eww, it's acrostic in its design
Because repeating letters open each line
Doot doot do doot doot do doot doot do doot doot do doot doot do
[Chorus 1]
There's much written down
I've got a hunch I'm bafflin' you
Shall I expound? The acrostic is found
In the hundred nineteenth Psalm
It's got a design -- it just doesn't rhyme
And it's the longest chapter, too
It's alphabetized -- 22 sections wide
It's the hundred nineteenth Psalm
[Verse 2]
Start to explore it -- to those who try:
You'll be astonished by it -- you might sigh
Doot doot do doot doot do doot doot do doot doot do doot doot do
I am determined, and I'll finish those lines
You'll be my hero if you follow behind
Doot doot do doot doot do doot doot do doot doot do doot doot do
[Chorus 2]
If you're sittin' down
Try it at lunch some afternoon
Sent to astound -- there's lots to be found
In the hundred nineteenth Psalm
Study the lines -- with this thought in mind
But how many times is up to you
God's Word's alive -- you're wanted inside
In the hundred nineteenth Psalm
[Instrumental Break]
("Hundred seventy-six verses!")
("Oh, man!")
[Chorus 3]
Born on the ground, I pray toward the clouds
I'm on the hunt -- I'm after truth
I sure like the sound, prime logic that's found
In the hundred nineteenth Psalm
I struggle with fright -- when it's dark at night
And when my heart beats faster, too
God's Word's a light -- the Jews said likewise
In the hundred nineteenth Psalm
[Chorus 4]
Spurnin' the proud ("Huh?") -- I race for the crown
I'm gonna sum this up for you
Sentences abound ("Huh?") -- they're often profound
In the hundred nineteenth Psalm
Some will malign ("Awww") -- this discourse of mine
But how will it wind up? That's your cue
Now is the time ("Huh?") -- find it and try
