JESUS WAS A JEW, OR WAS HE? – Ye Are Not My Sheep by Bro H

Verse 1 Ye bind heavy burdens grievous And lay them upon men's backs Ye make the word of God of none effect Through the traditions that ye have Ye compass sea and land to make One proselyte beneath your hand Then make him twofold more the child of hell Than yourselves who rule the land The shepherds fed themselves alone The flock was scattered on the hills The hireling cared not for the sheep Nor sought the broken nor the ill Since Idumea merged with Judah Edomite rulers sat in Moses’ seat Long robes flowing through the Temple courts Yet knew not Him they sought to defeat Chorus Ye are not My sheep As I said unto you My sheep hear My voice And they follow Me Woe unto you, blind guides Hypocrites, a venomous vipers den Ye shut up the Kingdom before men Yet neither yourselves can enter in Verse 2 “We be Abraham’s seed,” they answered Yet sought to kill the promised Son “If God indeed were your Father Ye would love the Holy One” Ye strain at gnats and swallow camels Ye cleanse the outside of the cup But inwardly you are full of extortion Dead men’s bones and wickedness The throne was sold to earthly powers Herod ruled beneath Rome’s hand The priesthood bought and compromised While strangers governed Judah’s land Whitewashed tombs adorned the city Fair without but dead within The Shepherd stood before the gate Behold, your house is left desolate Chorus Ye are not My sheep For ye know not My voice Ye outwardly appear righteous But inwardly destroy Woe unto you, blind guides Ye serpents in the courts of men Ye garnish all the prophets’ tombs Yet kill the righteous again and again Verse 3 He overturned the lender’s tables Receipts and the silver hit the floor “My Father’s house ye’ve made a den Of thieves and merchants wanting more and more” The stone rejected by the builders Became the headstone of the corner The Kingdom taken from the wicked Given unto a righteous nation “O Jerusalem, Jerusalem You that killest all the prophets” How often would I have gathered thee As a hen gathers all her chickens But ye would not hear the Shepherd Nor know the day of visitation “Behold, your house is left unto you Desolate” in desolation Final Chorus Ye are not My sheep Therefore ye believe Me not He that is of God heareth God’s words Yet ye cannot hear My voice Ye know not Him that sent Me Because ye are not of God Ye cannot hear My word Ye are not My sheep The Shepherd knows His own by name And I know My sheep
