Rap
A man planted a vineyard which he did rent
To some tenants to care for, then he went
When harvest came he sent someone
To get some fruit, but they gave none.
Another he sent, they beat and mistreated
And sent him away, but again he repeated
To send yet another, but they hurt and threw out
This made the owner quite angry no doubt
But wait I'll send my son to collect
The son whom I love they'll surely respect
But then the tenants took the son
And put him to death thinking they've won
But the owner came and killed those men
And gave the vineyard to others again.
The former treated the vineyard as if their own
But then they rejected the chief cornerstone
If you're in charge of part of God's churches
Don't be like a bird which on a branch pirches
Thinking that he owns the whole tree
And eating its fruit as if it were free
For God owns the tree, you only rent.
And if you think different, you must repent.
