Stone Him Rough
Parody of "Stone in Love" by Journey
(Acts 6:8-8:3)

Those crazy nuts I do remember from my youth
As you recall, I was a Benjamite known as Saul
In our deed-driven, routine world
Learnin' laws, we thought we were nice guys
We found young Stephen, tried a veiled attack
Stood alone - he testified unto Christ

Though some of us were callin' "Stone him rough."
"Just set your stuff where Saul is - stone him rough"

Old trusty quotes read from the Scriptures Stephen showed
He told us how over and over, we'd gone wrong, yeah
Even he couldn't cool things down
Heard enough, we wanted his lifeblood
As the men began to slay, He prayed
"Holy Lord, I beg You, forgive them!"

Though some of us were callin' "Stone him rough."
Stephen himself stood tall and -- spoke in love

LEAD

Though some of us were callin' "Stone him rough."
Stephen himself stood tall and -- spoke in love

Stone him rough
Stone him rough
Stone him rough

Acts 7:59-60
While they were stoning him, Stephen prayed, "Lord Jesus, receive my spirit."
Then he fell on his knees and cried out, "Lord, do not hold this sin against
them." When he had said this, he fell asleep.
