life of slavery once [Am] again.
[G]
[Am] So they muttered and they grumbled and [G] they whimpered and they whined, [C] with each faithless
word [Em] sank deeper into [Am] sin.
He
[Dm] took the pen of pain once more [Am] to write upon their hearts [G] a lesson they [F] had been so
slow [A] to learn.
[Dm] Then writhing in the sand the fiery [Am] serpents came to call [G] with a holy message [F] and a [E] bite that burned.

[Am] would know [G] that [Am] the symbol of their suffering was now the [G] focus of their faith.
And [Am] with a faithful glance the healing power would flow.
[Dm] In time the brazen serpent became [Am] an idol in the land, [G] and they left the living [F] God
to [Am] worship clay.
[A] [Dm] When they forgot their suffering soon [Am] true faith had disappeared, and so [G] some idolized
[F] a brazen cross [Bm] today.
