1.) There was a guy named Mordecai, who lived in Shushan town. / Haman passed by, sayin' "Here am I!", but Mordecai wouldn't bow down. / So Haman, he built some gallows, and a fearful plan was bringin', / But God intervened through Esther the queen, and Haman, he went swingin'.
CHORUS.) God opposes the proud, but he gives grace to the humble. / The way of the righteous is a shining light, and the wicked in darkness stumble, / The tree of the righteous shall be established, and the tower of the wicked tumble, / God opposes the proud, but he givens grace. . . to the humble.
2.) Adonijah thought he'd make himself king, and he threw a parade and a party. / God looked down on the pitiful thing, and said, "Oh, no, I'm sorry, / but Solomon is the one I've chosen, I was just gonna give him a call." / Few hours later, Adonijah was beggin, "Oh please, let me live.", and that's all!
CHORUS.) As above.
(Instrumental interlude, mirimba sounds.)
3.) Pharisee and a publican stood up in the temple one day. / You can read about it there in the gospel of Luke, how they headed on up to pray./ The Pharisee said "God you got to be so impressed with the life I'm livin'" / Publican only smote his chest, said, "I need to be forgiven."
CHORUS.) As above.
