This was the forest primeval
before the world and the woe and the evil.
This was the faith prior to evil
before religion took hold in medieval
before baptists got weighed down
with bricks and fried chicken;
before presbys went to town
and piscopaliens dragged down
with towers of stone and religion;
even before cathlics were legion
and orthdox went grievin’
their loss of byzantium;
Hey!, even before yanks had a national anthem
before christians got lost
and the Faith it got tossed
to the dogs of politics
and the cats of metaphysics,
this was the faith primeval:
Matthew, Mark, Luke and John
walking in the path of the Son!
