SONG LYRIC OF THE WEEK: May or may not be connect to the Bible study, but just fun to exercise the mind. Band: Our Lady Peace Song: Not Enough 2002 There's nothing left to prove There's nothing I won't do There's nothing like the pain I feel for you Nothing left to hide Nothing left to fear I am always here When they say you're not that strong You're not that weak It's not your fault And when you climb Up to your hill Up to your place I hope you're well What you want What you lost What you had What is gone is over What you got What you love What you need What you have is real Deuteronomy Deuteronomy is the fifth book of the Bible and the final book of the Torah.

SONG LYRIC OF THE WEEK: May or may not be connect to the Bible study, but just fun to exercise the mind. Band: Spocks Beard Song: I Wouldn’t Let It Go  2000 I was just a boy A rough and restless child All skin and bones and thistles A tough weed growing wild Someday I'd be an astronaut And make my way up to Mars But I was like a monkey With my hand stuck in a jar Once I took a penny Placed it on the track When the freight train flattened it I couldn't change it back I was never lost In my little town But I remember hoping That someday I'd be found I was holding on to something That I couldn't make my own At times it seemed so hopeless But I wouldn't let it go No I wouldn't let it go No I would not let it go Numbers Numbers is the fourth book of the Bible, and it carries forward the story of Israel after their exodus from slavery in Egypt.

Band: Big Wreck Song: Wolves  2012 Oh mark my words In between the lines And every little piece Of the story's entwined I always told my side my way Oh, there was no more room In the packet of wolves They wouldn't let me in Saw the mission was afoot They showed us all we were without Oh, they said bleed out your heart If it's still beating for someone else Trap all those chains That keep you tethered, that keep you safe Leviticus Leviticus is the third book of the Bible, and it flows directly out of the events in the previous book of Exodus. Israel has been freed from slavery in Egypt, and they’ve gathered at the foot of Mount Sinai to enter into a covenant relationship with God. However, as soon as they agreed to the relationship, they rebelled and violated the foundational terms of the covenant. God had wanted his glorious presence to dwell...

Band: Seatbelts Song: Gotta Knock a Little Harder  2001 I kept a chain upon my door That would shake the shame of Cain Into a blind submission The burning ghost without a name Was still calling all the same But I just wouldn't listen The longer I'd stall The further I'd crawl The further I'd crawl The harder I'd fall I was crawlin into the fire The more that I saw The further I'd fall The further I'd fall The lower I'd crawl I kept fallin' into the fire Gotta knock a little harder Break through the door Exodus 19-40 The first half of the book of Exodus tells the story of ancient Israel being rescued from slavery. And when people say “the Exodus story,” those are the chapters they are referring to. But the book has a second half, where Moses gives the ten commandments to Israel, along with these instructions about building ...
