Parody of "Joy to the World" performed by Three Dog Night and written by Hoyt Axton
(The Book of Jeremiah)
NOTE: This version was originally included on our third studio cassette, "Isn't Wasn't Ain't," which
was released in July 1993, but we chose not to include it on the CD release in February 2005,
because we had already rewritten and rerecorded the song as "Boy Tell The World" on our "Adam Up"
CD, released in December 2003.
Jeremiah was a prophet
Back in Babylonian times
The people never listened to a word he said
But they all came true in time
Yes, the Lord would prove that Jerry wasn't lying
Trust in the Lord -- just believe His Word now
Trust in the things He tells ya you must say
Trust in the Lord today
Nebuchadnezzar was the king of the world
The man from Babylon
He set his sights for Judah and they all got scared
But the Lord said not to run
He said, Now don't you go to Egypt or you're done
CHORUS
The moral of the story
Is never be afraid
'Cause the king destroyed the people who had tried to run
But he blessed all the ones who stayed
The ones who listened to the Lord were saved
Psalms 118:8
It is better to trust in the LORD than to put confidence in man.
