Never Knew Ya
To the tune of Hallelujah sung by Rufus Wainwright
Now I’ve heard there was a parable
That Jesus told, one that all should know.
But you don’t really read the bible, do you?
Recorded at the 23rd
The 7th chapter, I have heard
Those on the left the lord said, “I never knew you”
Never Knew Ya, Never Knew Ya
Never Knew Ya, Never Knew Ya
They called the lord, they called him twice
They expelled demons, that was nice.
But you know that he wouldn’t buy it, Don’t you.
The works they did, their prophecy
He called it all a rotten tree
The fruit they bear will tell what’s really in you
Never Knew Ya, Never Knew Ya
Never Knew Ya, Never Knew Ya
Ten virgins came and five were wise
The oil they had they surely prized
The fools they begged “give us some oil please, would ya”
But there would not be quite enough
They left to go and buy more stuff
The door closed the bridegroom said, “I don’t know you”
Never Knew Ya, Never Knew Ya
Never Knew Ya, Never Knew Ya
Here’s another I have to tell
Peter said he would never fail
The lord told Peter “this would happen to you
Before I am to give my life
You would by then disowned me thrice
Saying to me I really never knew you.”
Never Knew Ya, Never Knew Ya
Never Knew Ya, Never Knew Ya
Three times you said I do not know
You even swore to let it show
And the lord looked down and he stared right at you
Your tears so strong they flood the town
You faith was weak, you let him down
But he would soon be there and he’d upbuild you
Because he knew ya, Because he knew ya
Because he knew ya, Because he knew ya
Now That I’ve come down to the end
The lord do know that we all sin
He tell us he is willing to forgive you
If the true God we come to know
And his son who our lives we owe
Then He would never say “I never knew ya”
Never Knew Ya, Never Knew Ya
Never Knew Ya, Never Knew Ya
Never Knew Ya, Never Knew Ya
Never Knew Ya, Never Knew Ya
Never Knew Ya, Never Knew Ya
Never Knew Ya, Never Knew Ya
