What's in Nahum
Parody of "What's Your Name" by Lynyrd Skynyrd
(Jonah 1:1-2, 3:1-10; Nahum 1:7-9, 2:1-13, 3:18-19)
Well, if there's any spot in the Bible I don't know
It's all those little prophets in between the New and Old
I've done made some friends with the major prophet types
But not those little teeny guys, so I should read ‘em twice
What's in Nahum – Nineveh -- what's in Nahum?
Should I explain – did ya know – what the dude was sayin'?
Back in the Old Testament when God was upset
He'd send them one of His crew there like Jonah to utter a threat – ah yes
When the folks who sinned He was angry about wouldn't change
The Lord sent someone else there and had ‘em make His plan plain
What's in Nahum – Nineveh -- what's in Nahum?
Should I explain – did ya know – all his ancient claims
What's in Nahum – Nineveh -- what's in Nahum?
Should I explain – did ya know – what the dude was sayin'?
Ohhhh, yeah!
LEAD
What's in Nahum – Nineveh -- what's in Nahum?
Should I explain – did ya know – what the dude was sayin'?
Nineveh was nasty and repented before
But after 612 B.C. well, there was no more hope, oh nope!
And Nahum said the attack would come -- it sure was planned
And Ninevah, my dear, it's clear they'll never see you again
What was in Nahum – Nineveh -- what's in Nahum?
Should I explain – did ya know – all his ancient claims
What was in Nahum – Nineveh -- what's in Nahum?
Should I explain – did ya know – what the dude was sayin'?
