Headed For The Moon

1. God said subdue and multiply,
In dominion on this earth,
But the heavens Ive preserved,
And protected from the curse,
Now your sins are lifted up,
Theyve reached to heaven, friend,
Now theres nothing left for God to do,
Except to make an end.

2. Columbus sailed the ocean here,
To show the world was round,
But before he discovered it,
In the Scriptures it was found,
God sat upon the circle,
Of this old world of sin,
As grasshoppers He beheld,
The people here within.

3. My friends youve wrought a mighty deed,
Through venture and conquest,
But the glory you gave unto men,
Astronaut and president,
Nothing was said about my Lord,
The one who gave you birth,
Nor did you praise the God above,
Who made heaven and earth.

4. I think about much greater deeds,
Of a man called Joshua,
Who gave the glory unto God,
As he turned night into day,
The moon he made to take a rest,
While the great sunlight above,
Obeyed the voice of a mortal man,
At Gods command of love.

5. In the Bible we are told,
Oh, so plainly, friend,
To reach the moon is what it took,
For this old world to end,
Youve made your nest among the stars,
Evrything is looking well,
But the Bible tells Almighty God,
Shall cast you into hell.

Chorus: A rocket ship and an astronaut,
All headed for the moon,
With evrything they needed,
But for Christ there was no room,
A lot of courage on display,
As this old world looked on,
But an astronaut and a rocket ship,
For sin cannot atone.
