Generations to generations
The echo rings
My history of blood and kings
We turned our back on the Lord
Even after He set us free and parted the sea
Through miles of sand and sun
He showed us who to be so the world could see
He thought us how to pierce the dark and shine
But soon enough the enemy came from behind
They stole and they murdered
Who they could find
The Amalekites promised God's people safe passage through their land
But they broke that promise
They attacked from behind
Killing women, children, the sick, and the old
The weakest of God's people
The Lord said
"I will wipe out the Amalekites from under heaven"
Time passed
The people wanted a king
The Lord sounded a call to a man named Saul
He was meant to rule with light
But he let the shadows fall
He lost it all
He feared men but he didn't fear the Lord
He loved the things of this world and lived by the sword
The cost was greater than he could afford
After generations of brutal attacks
The Lord commanded King Saul
"Go, attack the Amalekites
Destroy everyone and everything owned by them"
But Saul disobeyed
He kept the best of what they had
And he kept their king Agag alive
The spirit of the Lord left Saul
And he was tortured in his spirit till his dying day
The children of Agag are the Agagites
Haman is descended from King Agag
I am descended from King Saul
The blood of kings flows through our veins
The Lord has allowed this ancient enemy to rise again
Make no mistake
God has a plan
There is an enemy
And we have a choice
A choice we must make to obey
Flows through time until it makes a way (a way)
So I will stand for what is right
God still says let there be light
