Questioning the Shepard about the numbers in his flock
And the salvations of some, while to others he appears not
Questioning the Fisherman on his abundant catch
And just how many souls does it take to fill his nets
Questioning the Carpenter busy building another cross
On the number of Messiahs to be strung up and hung
Before the World comes to know the true word of God….
