3. GETAWAY
(3 ½ years earlier. Israel is under the oppressive rule of Rome)
Israelite 1 :
We sweat out in the sun outside beloved Jerusalem
To pay Caesar Augustus
Israelite 2:
We're under Herod's hand - the Romans rape and pillage our land
The land that God gave to us
CAST:
But we're going to make a getaway
When the Savior comes to take away our pain
Israelite 1 :
King David prophesied there'll come a Son with God on his side
To conquer our enemies
Israelite 2:
I wish he'd come right now - turn Caesar's sword into a plow
CAST:
Come Savior, hear our plea
But we're going to make a getaway
When the Savior comes to take away our pain
Yes we're waiting for a better day
When the glory's restored to Israel again
