3. GETAWAY

(3 ½ years earlier. Israel is under the oppressive rule of Rome)

Israelite 1 :

We sweat out in the sun outside beloved Jerusalem

To pay Caesar Augustus

Israelite 2:

We're under Herod's hand - the Romans rape and pillage our land

The land that God gave to us

CAST:

But we're going to make a getaway

When the Savior comes to take away our pain

Israelite 1 :

King David prophesied there'll come a Son with God on his side

To conquer our enemies

Israelite 2:

I wish he'd come right now - turn Caesar's sword into a plow

CAST:

Come Savior, hear our plea

But we're going to make a getaway

When the Savior comes to take away our pain

Yes we're waiting for a better day

When the glory's restored to Israel again
