Lyrics:
Bethsaida, northern shore of Galilee
A son is born to Salome and Zebedee
He was the second half of the Boanerges
Responsible for raising the Iberian churches
It is James, brother of John the Apostle
Who left his father to spread word of the gospel
Present at the Mount of Transfiguration
A witness to Talitha's resurrection
His face shone with the brightest light
Raised the dead right before their eyes
But a seat reserved neither left nor right
for the inner circle that followed Christ
Tradition puts him in a region of Sardinia
Then followed by a trip to the Iberian Peninsula
Preaching to the Galicians of God's abounding mercy
A saving grace of which we are undeserving and unworthy
Do you want us to call fire down from heaven?
Fire down from heaven
Fire down from heaven
Command a fire to consume the troops
Send fifty men to the Samarian tombs
A request the Lord now shall rebuke
For He came to cleanse the lepers
and to preach the Good News
He returned to his fellowship back in Jerusalem
Herod Agrippa, the king who was ruling then
showed no remorse as he was persecuting them
Slaying and maiming however it suited him
The first of the dozen to be martyred
James the Great was soon to be departed
Fifteen years after Christ conquered death
did James, the son of Zebedee die by a sword to his neck
Had his head severed during the festival of unleavened bread
and drank the cup that Lord Jesus told would end in bloodshed
Command a fire to consume the troops
Send fifty men to the Samarian tombs
A request the Lord now shall rebuke
For He came to cleanse the lepers
and to preach the Good News
He sent messengers to prepare accommodation
Their presence met with none but poor reception
The sons of thunder asked for fire down from heaven
But Jesus turned around and rebuked the requisition
For a fire to consume the troops
Send a village to the Samaritan tombs
A request the Lord now had rebuked
For He came to cleanse the lepers
and to preach the Good News

Instead for hailing down fire, the Gospel was shared and there was rebuke for wanting fire to come down. For some reason it reminds me of Isaiah. He was a man of unclean lips and a coal from one of the seraphim cleansed him and he wanted to preach afterward. To my understanding, we ought to stop wanting fire to come down and instead be baptized by fire to share the Good News. That's my take on this. Anyhow, this is great!

[@ASecretEnding]

Thanks a lot! Really happy to hear that! Excited to hear which ones that will end up being your favorites! 🔥🔥🔥

[@choochootrain628]

Wow this hits. I see so many Christians wanting the world to end already so Christ can come back. But we really ought to focus on sharing the Gospel to the lost instead, even I am guilty of this at times. That was an awesome way to be convicted 😂
Awesome work as usual! I look forward to the next release :)

[@ASecretEnding]
