Jezebel - Recoil

Well stop, great God, stop there and listen

Listen to the story 'bout Jezebel

Her sins were so wicked Jehovah got angry

Her soul went leapin' and jumpin' into Hell

Way back yonder in the olden days

John told Jezebel to borrow her ways

Said her evil deeds had ruined the land

And repent for the kingdom of God was at hand

She got mad at John 'cause he told her 'bout the gospel

Told her servants to boil him in oil

Well they tell me God looked from the windows of the heavens

Spoke one word and the oil wouldn’t boil

He raised his hand, creation trembled

Stamped his feet and time stood still

Raised his voice, looked down and thundered

«John!

Go do my will.»

You got to go to judgement, stand trial

Then they tell me John moved through the power of the gospel

Told Jezebel her time was nigh

On the book of life, her days were ended

Her time run out and she had to die

Well they tell me God walked his footsteps thunderin'

He moved his head and his eyes flashed fire

Clapped his hands and death come jumpin'

Jehovah was angry, somebody had to die

You got to go to judgement, stand trial

Then Death come knockin' on Jezebel’s door and said

«Come on woman ain’t you ready to go?

Of your evil deeds God’s done got tired

You got to go to judgement, stand trial.

«Then Death come leapin' she jumped into Hell

Great God Almighty I heard them tell

Nine days she lay in Jerusalem’s streets

Her flesh was too filthy for the dogs to eat

You got to go to judgement, stand trial

«Jezebel, mind God’s talking

Says he’s tired of your evil ways

You got to go to judgement, stand trial.
