Messiah
Parody of "Desire" by U2
(Daniel 9:24-27, Isaiah 53:1-12)

Brothers, quite honestly
Is the Bible a white lie? It predicts history
Have you read the parts prophesyin’ Messiah?

See, from Daniel - the Israelites knew
The Christ would be there - be there real soon
And so they counted till they got one
And eschewed everyone who's not one
It's in Daniel, chapter 9 -- the
That's in Daniel, chapter 9, the
Right in Daniel, chapter 9, the
Look in Daniel, chapter 9, the
Messiah! Messiah!
You ready?

Under Caesar's when they’d find the
Messiah! Messiah!
Yearning -- yearning

He gave all us the time projections
Seek the prophets for your directions
The Scriptures that came long ago
I can preach it -- still your heart has to let Him in, though
So let Him, honey, honey, honey
Honey, honey, honey, honey, honey

And when Jesus gets inside ya
Messiah! Messiah!
Messiah! Messiah!
Messiah! Messiah!

"Know and understand this: From the time the word goes out to restore and rebuild Jerusalem until the Anointed One, the ruler, comes, there will be seven 'sevens,' and sixty-two 'sevens.' It will be rebuilt with streets and a trench, but in times of trouble."
