Reading Habakkuk
Parody of "Radioactive" by The Firm
(Habakkuk 1:1-2:4, 2:13-14, 3:16-19; Romans 1:17, Galatians 3:11, Hebrews 10:38; Acts 13:41)

Well, he prophesied -- something unexpected
Turning on the light -- 'cause I'm a-reading Habakkuk, reading Habakkuk

Babylon would fight (ha!) -- and take all them captive
What a rude surprise for even Habakkuk, even Habakkuk

My Lord, I'm plain confused
Why don't You make a move?
He said, I won't delay their doom -- and I want you to know

God controls men's fate -- won't be inactive
Turning wrong to right -- go on waiting Habakkuk, waiting Habakkuk
LEAD

Reading Habakkuk, reading Habakkuk

My Lord, I'll wait for You
I don't want to complain to You
I want just to pray this through -- and I watch for You and know

Righteous live by faith -- both preached and practiced
Learn the truth tonight -- from reading Habakkuk
Oh yeah! Oh, yeah-eh-yay-yeah
Ohhhhhh yeah – reading Habakkuk -- mmmmm mmmmm
Won't you check --- verse 2:4 -- you'll like that, kids – huh
Go check 2:4 -- baby – reading Habakkuk – oh yeah
Crazy old, crazy old, crazy old, crazy Habakkuk – uh ho
Uh huh oh – ohh yeah
I've been reading old, reading old, reading old, reading Habakkuk

Habakkuk 2:4
"See, the enemy is puffed up; his desires are not upright -- but the
righteous person will live by his faithfulness –"
