THEOLOGIANS AND SCHOLARS
Theologians and scholars all arguing about,
Some verses in the Bible they think they figured out.
Where is the wise man, where is the sage,
Where’s the debater of this age.
They’re all quite offended and amazed,
That God has rejected all their man-made ways.
Remember what the saints of old have said,
“There are certain limits to the brain inside your head.
If we know some doctrine, _ we know it just in part.
Our own understanding puts the horse behind the cart.
The mind of man cannot figure out,
What the word of God is all about.
He prefers to believe what he prefers to be true.
His imagination will dream up something new,
Or else his old traditions make it difficult to move.
Interpreting the Scripture is a thing he cannot do.
Paul had to tell them he was set to be
One of the apostolic ministries.
As such he taught the doctrine as ordained,
And if they were all hearers and doers they would gain.
If you yield to the Spirit, God will show you the truth.
The natural mind is enmity, but God will pull you through.
See the foundation set in it’s place.
Come in submission to His grace.
The proud and their opinions, God will abase.
But he will not reject any who truly seek His face.
David and his men built a new cart.
They had this great idea for carrying the ark.
God doesn’t need ideas as He showed us on that day.
He gave us fair warning that he needs us to obey.
They all believe the Bible, at least they say they do.
But there are just some verses they can’t believe are true.
Perhaps they are outdated so that they don’t apply.
Or else they’re unimportant and easy to deny.
With great intelligence, they keep explaining why.
But every time they move their mouth, you hear another lie.
Jeremiah said, “Be careful what you do.”
If you say, “The Lord said,” something, just make sure it’s true.
The Lord won’t tell me one thing and another thing to you.
If His Spirit leads us, He will end the Hullabaloo.
Those who never were sent by God, yet on their own they ran,
They don’t want to wait on God, so they form their own plan.
They think they need no healer, so they can’t be healed.
From these the things of God are all concealed,
Whose great and prideful mind could never yield,
But to the meek obedient heart, God’s will is revealed.
Miriam wouldn’t honor and obey!
She said, “Couldn’t anybody else but Moses lead the way?”
God told her it was He, set Moses in that place.
To some He spoke through visions but to Moses, face to face
