AHAB's LAST RIDE
(RKB, 3/99, B, 2:26)( 2 Chron ch 17)
1.) Syria and Samaria had a fight. Wicked King Ahab turned to the right. Sent an e-mail to Jehosaphat, "There's
spoil to win, throw in your hat." Jehosaphat saddled up and he rode all night.
2.) Ahab's court lit up like a blue saloon. Two majestic thrones centered the room. But here's the real thing:
there can only be one king. The other's just a stooge, a sad baffoon.
C.) I see this world has got you by the eyes. Better take a piece of good advice. If you're gonna taste their
thrills, then you're gonna pay their bills. Better learn it now: don't compromise.
3.) A parade of prideful prophets said "Behold..." and acted out the victory they foretold. Micaiah
said "Oh no, Jehosey, don't you go." But Ahab said "Aw, come on, you can wear my purple robe!"
C.) repeat chorus as above.
4.)" Fight not with the soldiers samll nor great. Take aim on that yahoo in the purple cape." Jehosaphat
saw the arrows comin', Ahab dyin', it was time for running, all the way back home to Zion's gate.
C.)
