PAIR O' DIMES

HalleluYah  Parody of Leonard Cohen song

I heard a tale of the Temple mount

The Bible once had the full account

But you have never heard the story, have you?

Well it goes like this, the Pagans came

Installed an idol, and shamed the Name

No more to hear the Hebrew HalleluYah

HalleluYah

Some men’s faith was strong, they endured the pain

Not willing for all to join in the shame

They clung to Yah but the Hellenists overthrew them

They killed a pig in the sacred place

They murdered sons before Mom’s face

But from their lips could not silence HalleluYah

HalleluYah

You know that we’ve been here before

The Greek men reign and our GOD deplore

The Temple meant for Yah before they ruin’d ya

We saw their hate for Yah most High

They forced conversion, Our GOD deny

Removed the Sabbath and punished HalleluYah

HalleluYah

Remember the time of the Maccabees

The Hammer forcing the Greeks to flee

But you don’t think they all were heroes, do you?

But they made them leave the holy place

Removed the idols, the altar replaced

And from the Temple purged it HalleluYah

HalleluYah

They did it all for our GOD above

The One who tells us to live in love

But He’s the One who deserves our HalleluYah

If no Maccabees had endured the fight

Where would our Savior have walked that night

When he told men he’s the light and our Y’shua?

HalleluYah
