On a day when the devil, and the world sat down together And talked away the hours like a couple of old friends While their children all played on the village green together With guns, and bombs, and tanks, and lots of fighter aeroplanes There came an outsider, from where no one could say But simply and straightforwardly he tried to save the day He said:
"God so loved the world That He gave His only son. God so loved the world That He gave His only son".
And all the politicians, and the scholars said "how sad" And after consultation they decided he was mad "Conspiracy!" they shouted, "chicanery!" they said "He's nothing but a trickster and completely off his head!".
With sorrow and with anger he looked on their stupidity And left them debating on the future of mankind He came to the market-place of subterfuge activity Anxious to know what attitude he would find Amidst all the bargaining he spoke up loud and clear The people turned to listen with a condescending ear He said:
"God so loved the world That He gave His only son. God so loved the world That He gave His only son".
No sooner had he started than the violence broke out They railed and they cursed him - just another long-haired lout "You sponger! you parasite! we fought for the likes of you We give you education and just look where it leads to".
The Devil raised his glass as the traveller set forth To leave the village far behind became his only thought But as he reached the outskirts he stopped to rest a while And children's voices singing in the schoolhouse made him smile:
Yes, Jesus loves me Yes, Jesus loves me Yes, Jesus loves me The bible tells me so.
(The above chorus repeated, and sung simultaneously with the chorus below - until fade)
"God so loved the world That He gave His only son. God so loved the world That He gave His only son".
