Story behind the song
I was doodling around on the guitar between practicing songs for the worship service at church on Sunday (9/27/20) when I came up with the chord progression that makes up most of this song. I had to insert a few variations though, because I didn't want to just play the same chords over and over for a twelve and a half minute song. But since most of the chord progressions are the same, it was easier to play this song than many of my scripture chapters.
Lyrics
1 But there were also false prophets among the people, even as there will be false teachers among you,
who will secretly bring in destructive heresies even denying the Lord who bought them,
and bring on themselves swift destruction 2 and many will follow their destructive ways,
because of whom the way of truth will be blasphemed3By covetousness they will exploit you w/deceptive words
For a long time their judgment has not been idle, and their destruction does not slumber
4For if God did not spare the angels who sinned, but cast them down to hell & delivered them into chains
of darkness, to be reserved for judgment. 5 And did not spare the ancient world, but saved Noah,
One of eight people, a preacher of righteousness, bringing in the flood on the world of the ungodly;
6 And turning the cities of Sodom and Gomorrah into ashes, condemned them to destruction
Making them and example to those who afterward would live ungodly 7 And delivered righteous Lot,
who was oppressed by the filthy conduct of the wicked.8For that righteous man, dwelling among them,
tormented his righteous soul from day to day by seeing and hearing their lawless deeds-
9 Then the Lord knows how to deliver the godly out of temptations
And to reserve the unjust under punishment for the day of judgment,
10 and especially those who walk according to the flesh in the lust of uncleanness & despise authority
They are presumptuous, self-willed. They are not afraid to speak evil of dignitaries,
11 Wherefore angels, who are greater in power and might do not
Bring a reviling accusation against them before the Lord.
12 But these like natural brute beasts made to be caught and destroyed
Speak evil of the things they do not understand, and will utterly perish in their own corruption,
13 And will receive the wages of unrighteousness,
As those who count it pleasure to carouse in the daytime.
They are spots and blemishes, carousing in their own deceptions while they feast with you,
14 Having eyes full of adultery and that cannot cease from sin,
Enticing unstable souls. They have a heart trained in covetous practices,
Following the way of Balaam the son of Beor, who loved the wages of unrighteousness
16 But he was rebuked for his iniquity: a dumb donkey speaking with a mans voice
Restrained the madness of the prophet.17These are wells without water, clouds carried by a tempest
For whom is reserved the blackness of darkness forever.
18 For when they speak great swelling words of emptiness, they allure
Through the lusts of the flesh, through lewdness, the ones who have actually escaped
From those who live in error.19While they promise them liberty, they themselves are slaves of corruption;
For by whom a person is overcome, by him also he is brought into bondage.
20 For if after they have escaped the pollutions of the world through the knowledge of the Lord
And Savior Jesus Christ, they are again entangled in them and overcome, the latter end is worse
For them than the beginning.21For it would have been better for them not to have known the way
Of righteousness, than having known it, to turn from the holy commandment delivered to them.
22 But it has happened to them according to the true proverb: A dog returns to his own vomit,
And, a sow, having washed, to her wallowing in the mire.
