Herod Lyrics

Listen to the children dying, Herod
Listen to the children die

Nobody questions the
Predestination of
Precious percentage set
For annihilation for
The latest despot of
God's chosen nation that
Forsook sacrifice for
Another incantation

Listen to the children dying, Herod
Listen to the children die

Night pathway fled they
Tight south to Egypt way
And those behind did stay
To darkness of the day
Later what did they pray?
And in their olden days
Thirty-odd years away
Did they come face to His face?

Listen to the children dying, Herod
Listen to the children die

Did they know that it was
For Him their own were torn?
The Son's face before them
Could it have been their own?
If they knew that somehow
That they died in His place
Would they accept that He
Would then go die in their place?

Listen to the children dying, Herod
Listen to the children die
