May we preach from door to door,
Comfort spread the whole world o'er.
WTF is "o'er"? Someone was desperate to remove a syllable. The sad thing is they used in MANY times. It's obvious that the person who used "o'er" wrote all the songs with that bastardized word in it.
O'er the world we are victorious
Through our faith in Christ our Lord.
Come, you Christians, hail God's Kingdom,
Now established with his Son
In the heavens where, as Michael,
He o'er Satan vict'ry won.
Ah shit, there's another one - "Vict'ry". WTF?
Man, this song is crappy:
Puffed up with pride, men God deride
With blasphemous slander, in sin's ways meander.
Satan holds sway o'er earth today;
Sounds like something a cheerleader would sing.
May your attention cause joy to abound;
O'er all the earth let your worship be found.
O'er all the earth, he will rule as King
And cause all mankind his praises to sing.
Man, what the hell were they smoking when they came up with that last line?
Proud hearts that know no pity for the meek
To hold their pow'r o'er all mankind do seek.
LOL! That's golden! "Pow'r O'er" sounds like something a drunk would say.
O listen to the news of the Kingdom today
And hear Jesus say: 'O'er earth I hold sway.
I never knew Jesus was a drunk.
Preach the good news of the Kingdom on the streets, from door to door;
Preach this good news with the printed page all nations o'er.
Whoever rhymed "o'er" with "door" should be shot.
Wonderful things we see today,
Since o'er the earth your Son holds sway.
Jesus is still a drunk
His pow'r he'll display through his incoming Kingdom,
O'er earth his wide dominion extending once again.
LMAO!!! Someone was on a "Pow'r O'er" trip!
With this new song, we advertise the Kingdom.
Christ Jesus rules; the earth is his domain.
And as foretold there is a newborn nation,
A land o'er which Jehovah's Son does reign.
Oh yeah, I forgot about "The New song". That new song is 22 years old!
We thank you, Jehovah, for your faithful Son,
Who o'er death and Hades the vict'ry won.
Slashing two syllables in one line. They should've tried to fit "Pow'r" in there too!
Now, someone had mentioned the word "e'en".....
As a Giver, he's matchless; e'en his Son for us he gave,
For all sorts of mankind he most truly wants to save.
I never knew god's son's was named Ian.
E'en though we had faith and knowledge,
Gifts of tongues and prophecy,
Yet if love itself were lacking,
We would simply nothing be.
That is such a horrible bastardization. Let's type a sentence the way the Watchtower would sing it:
The Quick Fox Jumped O'er The La'y Hound
God's loving care is heartwarming.
It comforts us when we're upset.
And e'en the hairs of our head he's numbered.
Why should we worry or fret?
"E'en the hairs"? sounds like a modern Epilady.
With the Kingdom message,
We go forth to spread
Comfort for the mourners,
Hope for e'en their dead.
When did Ian die?
He was so patient with Israel of old,
E'en as with all humankind.
So, too, the sheep who now rest in his fold,
God to be long-suff'ring find.
Okay, I think I'm done with this shit. Long-suff'ring takes the cake. Why didn't they just write
"L'ng-s'ff'r'ng". Hell, I can't even pronounce that! Sounds like a speech impediment.
