[Intro]
Am G
[Verse 1]
Am G They grew tired of bread from heaven and of Moses and of God F G Am They longed to live the life of slavery once again Am G So, they muttered and they grumbled and they whimpered and they whined F G Am With each faithless word, sank deeper into sin
[Verse 2]
Dm C He took the pen of pain once more to write upon their hearts G F Am A The lesson they had been so slow to learn Dm C But writing in the sand, the fiery serpents came to call G F Em E With a holy message and a bite that burned
[Chorus]
Am G Lift up the suffering symbol, place it high upon a pole F G Am Tell the children to look up and be made whole
[Turnaround]
Am G
[Verse 3]
Am G So, Moses made a metal snake and nailed it to a pole F G Am Sent out the saving word so they would know Am G That the symbol of their suffering was now the focus of their faith F G Am And with a faithful glance, the healing power would flow
[Verse 4]
Dm C In time, the brazen serpent became an idol in the land G F Am A And they left the living God to worship clay Dm C When they forgot their suffering, soon true faith had disappeared G F Em E So, some idolize a brazen cross today
[Chorus]
