| They put an awful lot on this Jesus man
|
| With their stupid arguments and rants
|
| The Lord had to put up with their morality
|
| And despite that used to speak with local Pharisees
|
| They said, «These things that You do are OK
|
| «But is it kosher on the Sabbath Day?»
|
| Dumb question
|
| What if your lamb should slip down a hole?
|
| Why not go get him?
|
| We’d all do that, you know
|
| And all the Sadducees would lie in wait
|
| They would be rowdy, but He’d always set them straight
|
| They would all ask Him for dissertations
|
| About the most unlikely made-up situations
|
| He’d end up showing all their ways were rather weak
|
| Our Lord was subtle but He stepped on their feet
|
| Dumb question
|
| About that widow surviving seven men
|
| And when they asked dumb questions
|
| Christ’s wit demolished them
|
| Christ’s answers showed incredible insight
|
| But their minds were always filled up with hate
|
| It always ended up as a big blow
|
| When Christ’s wisdom proved them second-rate
|
| How could they win, though?
|
| I could see them in the moonlight
|
| Troops in their midst, waiting for Christ, by the garden gate
|
| The day they brought Christ to Pilate
|
| The experts stood outside
|
| The day they brought Christ to Pilate
|
| All of them thought He’d die
|
| Just die
|
| Now He rose up and they aren’t in the land
|
| But there’s some chaps out there who still don’t understand
|
| Life isn’t merely intellectual debates
|
| And God has shown us there is no time to waste
|
| We know they’ve said a lot of things we can ignore
|
| But if they ask us a hundred fifty more
|
| Dumb questions
|
| Let us answer them with help from God
|
| Don’t be afraid of dumb questions
|
| He don’t need astronauts
|
| Dumb questions
|
| Just like the Lord, we oughta set 'em straight
|
| Don’t be afraid of dumb questions
|
| Or the things that you should say |
