We used to have these get togethers, when I was a kid, and everyone would sing. I remember these songs, that were not in the JW song book, just more like folk songs, that JW's would pass along. There was imparticular, that actually was very beautiful. It was written by someone at Bethel, to his mom. It said something about asking her to please sit down and listen to the things he had learned. Then it started off,
There was a man, his name was John,
and he saw a vision, of a world beyond
he saw tears turn to darkenss, he saw sorrows turn to joy
he saw lions, playing with a small young boy,
anyway it went on, and was such a pretty song.
Then there was another that went to the Carpenters song, Top of the world, but the words were re-arranged to fit witness stuff. And another that was believe it or not, about Satan. It started off, (I only remember bits and pieces of these songs)
Satan the Snake
began his evil ways
within the seven days
that God made the earth.
Can you believe that, we used to sing a song about Satan!!?? Go Figure.
Did anyone else used to sing any of these songs, or any other songs like these, or were we just weirdos getting too much sunlight on the brain over here in Arizona?
