Parable Guy Lyrics - Apologetix

Verse 1) 

A long, long time ago 

I can still remember how amusing 

He could make things sound 

And I knew if I'd had my pen 

Then I should take notes even then 

And maybe then I'd have them for you now 

Every word He said was clever 

And every parable I remember 

Matthew has recorded 

And Luke I think has more yet 

I can't remember if I tried 

What I learned about in junior high 

But some things taught by Jesus Christ 

Remain refusing to die

(Chorus) 

so)Bye, bye, Mr. Parable Guy 

Got my blessings 

Through the lessons 

Taught by heavens Messiah 

Them good old days of seeking wisdom divine 

Sittin' listenin' to the Parable Guy 

Listenin' to the Parable Guy 

(Verse 2) 

Did you like the book of Luke 

And do you like fables that are true 

If you'd like I'll tell you some 

Cause a true believer's crop is slow 

When seed gets wasted by the road 

In a steep and cloudy land will grow 

Well I know the storms will come again 

So don't start your mansion in the sand 

He won't pick off the fruits 

If that fig tree didn't produce 

And if a lonely widow won't give up 

She can make a case and win a wicked judge 

But the new wine is powerful stuff 

And it waits for you to try 

You got to drink it

(Chorus) 

(Verse 3) 

Now if the shepherds sheep are all at home 

And one goes out on its own, alone 

But that not where it needs to be 

Won't the shepherd search for the missing sheep 

And of course, the woman does not sleep 

Until the coin that she came to find is retrieved 

And while his kid was getting down 

And spending all his money in town 

Of coarse his father yearned 

"I'm for him to return" 

And the wedding guests who don't get smart 

The Lord just catches them off guard 

And leaves them virgins in the dark 

The day the groom arrives 

Bell's were ringing 

(Chorus) 

(Verse 4) 

Selfish wealth 

It isn't going to help 

With barns stopped like a fallout shelter 

Grain piled high with all your cares 

The wedding has a lot of guests 

Today it's time for your formal best 

I suggest you follow guidelines when you dress 

Well at halftime there was work to do 

So the farmer payed another crew 

They all got payed in cash 

Oh but the jealous ones were mad 

And as the treasure finder takes the field 

The merchant says this jewel's a steel 

They'll lose it all for such a deal 

And pay the fullest price 

They got the kingdom 

(Chorus) 

(Verse 5) 

And then they were all in one place 

From every nation tongue and race 

With goats and lambs apart in place 

So come on drag the fish net 

Catch the fish 

Don't splash that on your candlestick 

Cause a flower with a lemons gonna' spread 

And as they robbed him on the way 

The man was left in disarray 

No neighbors stopped to help 

He couldn't save himself 

And as a stranger finally pulled aside 

And spied the battered Israelite 

I saw him save him gladly with delight 

And he made it through the night 

He was shrieking 

(Chorus) 

(Verse 6) 

Little children sang the blues 

They blasted forth some happy tunes 

But things just failed to turn their way 

"I went out and I made some more" 

Said the servant who got his reward 

But the man that made excuses couldn't pay 

And the wheat was filled with leaves 

Mustard climbed from the smallest seed 

All the birds were hopin' 

The birdhouse now was open 

The thing that I admire most 

Were all those funny parables 

They taught the lessons for the folks 

Whose faith was rooted in Christ 

Cause they were seeking 

(Chorus x2)
