Jezebel

Well stop, great God,

Stop there and listen,

Listen to the story ‘bout Jezebel.

Her sins were so wicked

Jehovah got angry,

Her soul went leapin’ and jumpin’

Into Hell.

Way back yonder in the olden days,

John told Jezebel

To borrow her ways,

Said her evil deeds

Had ruined the land

And repent for the kingdom of God

Was at hand.

She got mad at John

‘Cause he told her ‘bout the gospel,

Told her servants to

Boil him in oil.

Well they tell me God looked

From the windows of the heavens,

Spoke one word

And the oil wouldn’t boil.

He raised his hand,

Creation trembled,

Stamped his feet

And time stood still,

Raised his voice, looked down

And thundered

“John! Go do my will.”

You got to go to judgement,

Stand trial…

Then they tell me

John moved through

The power of the gospel,

Told Jezebel

Her time was nigh.

On the book of life,

Her days were ended,

Her time run out and she had to die.

Well they tell me God

Walked his footsteps thunderin’,

He moved his head

And his eyes flashed fire,

Clapped his hands

And death come jumpin’,

Jehovah was angry,

Somebody had to die.

You got to go to judgement,

Stand trial…

Then Death come knockin’ on

Jezebel’s door and said

“Come on woman

Ain’t you ready to go?

Of your evil deeds

God’s done got tired,

You got to go to judgement,

Stand trial.”

Then Death come leapin’

She jumped into Hell,

Great God Almighty

I heard them tell.

Nine days she lay

In Jerusalem’s streets,

Her flesh was too filthy

For the dogs to eat.

You got to go to judgement,

Stand trial…

“Jezebel, mind God’s talking,

Says he’s tired of your evil ways.

You got to go to judgement,

Stand trial…”
