Gimme Pre-Trib
Parody of "Gimme Three Steps" by Lynyrd Skynyrd
(1 Corinthians 15:51- 52; 1 Thessalonians 4:13-18; 2 Thessalonians 2:1-12; Matthew 24:3-44; Revelation 3:8-10, 4:1-2, 11:12, 13:1-18, 14:4-16, 19:11-21)
Our Lord's comin' for us
And there's a day called the Judgment
But the world ain't in the mood
Then in walks a man with an un-Christian plan
And he's a-workin' for you-know-who
He's a hateful fellow if you dare to rebel though
'Cause you'll die if you do
So it's a time to prepare if you're a man who's scared
There just might be an out for you … to say excuse me!
Well, there's several theories for that time
Our Lord takes us like a thief on a spree
'Cause there's a pre- and mid- and post-trib Rapture
And folks who like none of these
Oh, take a minute, Christians, and look at First Corinthians
In verse 15:52
And then both Thessalonians and in Matthew twenty-
Four and Revelation for clues
But won't you gimme pre-trib, gimme pre-trib Rapture
Gimme pre-trib or before
Gimme pre-trib, gimme pre-trib Rapture
And they'll never see me no more
For sure
LEAD
Well, it's not clear today when those events take place
And we oughta dwell on the Lord
And I tell you: for some, to debate's more fun
Than to wait for the Lord's reward
He'll return for me and them and you
That's the day I'll be looking for
And you'll be hearin' me singin' the highest praise
As I'm heading up toward the Lord
But won't you gimme pre-trib, gimme pre-trib Rapture
Gimme pre-trib or before
Gimme pre-trib, gimme pre-trib Rapture
Don't know when we're gonna see the Lord
Don't even act sure
1 Thessalonians 4:17
After that, we who are still alive and are left will be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air. And so we will be with the Lord forever.
