O be not naive, brothers
Our fathers’ faith review
The cloud their heads went under
The sea their feet passed through
They all were baptized unto Moses
In the cloud and in the sea
They all ate bread born from aboveth
And drank wine from rocks that bleed
All of this in Christ was given
Yet their sins were unforgiven
Many of them were o’erthrown
Because they displeased God
Their case, not one that we’ve outgrown,
Is raised to give you pause
That if you after evil lusteth
Just as they rose up to play
And if you after idols rusheth
Just as thousands fell astray
Then abdication is the crime
For which destruction is the rhyme
So, let us not tempt the Lord
As some of them once did
Nor murmur lest His logs record
Our words against Him sin
And our own tongues sling accusations
Back upon our sinful heads
As serpent-sounding condemnations
Destroy all our prideful beds
All these things then are examples
For us now engaged in battle
Let the proud then understand
Take heed lest he fall short
Just because he think he stands
Does not mean he comports
No temptations will you encounter
As a maverick without model
God is faithful and the waters
Still will part if sin is battled
Though temptations threaten treason
Christ will cast out every demon
