So Long, Moses

Andrew Peterson

[Verse 1]
So long, Moses
Hello, Promised Land
It was a long, long road
But your people are home
So long, Moses

[Verse 2]
Hello, Joshua
Goodbye, Canaanites
We're coming to town
Twelve tribes and no crown
No crown, oh Lord

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

[Verse 3]
Hello, Saul
First king of Israel
You were foolish and strong
So you didn't last long
Goodbye, Saul

[Verse 4]
Hail, King David
Shepherd from Bethlehem
Set the temple of God
In mighty Jerusalem

[Chorus]
He was a king on a throne
Full of power, with a sword in his fist
Has there ever been, has there 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?

[Verse 5]
Hello, prophets
The kingdom is broken now
The people of God
They've been scattered abroad
For how long, O Lord?

[Verse 6]
Oh, so speak, Isaiah
Prophet of Judah
Can you tell of the One
This King who's going to come

[Chorus]
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?
And Isaiah said:

[Outro]
"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
And carry our tears
And for His people
He will be pierced

"He'll be crushed for our evils
Our punishment feel
And by His wounds
We will be healed
We will be healed

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

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

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

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