Drop Your Knife and Hurry, Man
Parody of "Rock You Like a Hurricane" by The Scorpions
(Genesis 22:1-19, Hebrews 11:17-19, Micah 6:7-8, John 1:29-35)

It's early morning -- his son comes out
But has no inkling what this is about
A dead-end journey, a sacrifice planned
So what is wrong here? There's not a lamb
A precious offering he needs to kill
He never flinches - it's the Lord's will
He takes his knife and raises it slow
But God relieves Him in time and says no!

Abraham - drop your knife and hurry, man
Abraham - God will find a perfect lamb

By studied learning - we found this out
Messiah's coming - through Isaac's child
From indications - the Lord gave clues
He'll send a savior which some will refuse
The prophets called it - I have the scrolls
That the Lord gave us to read very long ago
Please listen to this - be ready for Him
We're the ones He'll die for - sufferin' for sin

Abraham - drop your knife and hurry, man (Are you ready, Abram?)
Abraham - modify your current plan
Abraham - don't kill Isaac; search again (C'mon, c'mon, Abram!)
Abraham - God will find a perfect lamb
God will find a perfect lamb!
LEAD

It's early morning -- the Son comes out
His life they're takin' -- there's never a doubt
The whip is whirring -- it slashes Christ's skin
So what is wrong here? He never sinned
Messiah told me He had to go
To the cross of Calv'ry - His blood must flow
He's takin' His licks - He's ready to win
On a cross He's planned for from the first sin

Abraham - God supplied a perfect lamb (Are you ready, Abram?)
Abraham - God supplied a perfect lamb
Abraham - God supplied a perfect lamb (C'mon, c'mon, c'mon, c'mon, c'mon)
Abraham - God supplied a perfect lamb
Abraham!

Hebrews 11:17-19
By faith Abraham, when God tested him, offered Isaac as a sacrifice. He who
had embraced the promises was about to sacrifice his one and only son, even
though God had said to him, "It is through Isaac that your offspring will be
reckoned." Abraham reasoned that God could even raise the dead, and so in a
manner of speaking he did receive Isaac back from death.
