1
They grew tired of bread from heaven
2
And of Moses and of God
3
They longed to live the life of slavery once again
4
So they muttered and they grumbled
5
And they wimpered and they whined;
6
With each faithless word, sank deeper into sin
7
He took the pen of pain once more
8
To write upon their hearts
9
The lesson they had been so slow to learn
10
But writing in the sand, the firey serpents came to call
11
With a holy message and a bite that burned
12
Chorus:
13
Lift up the suffering symbol
14
And place it high upon a pole
15
Tell the children to look up and be made whole
16
So Moses made a metal snake,
17
And nailed it to a pole
18
Sent out the saving word so they would know
19
That the symbol of their suffering was now the focus of their faith
20
And with a faithful glance, the healing power would flow
21
In time the brazen serpent became an idol in the land
22
And they left the living God to worship clay
23
When they forgot their suffering
24
Soon true faith had disappeared
25
So some idolize a brazen cross today
26
Chorus(X4)
27
Tell the children to look up and be made whole
