A Boy Named Yeshu
G
C
My Daddy Went Up To Heaven Above, But Left Some Things To Me In Love,
D G B
A Trade (Mark 6:3: Matt. 13:55), The Name (Luke 1:30-33) Yeshu-A (Hebrew) And Insous. (Greek-Eeaysous),
Now, I Thank Holy Joseph For Really Tryin,
C D G
After That The Devil Did Some Lyin And
Shortened My Hebrew Name To Y.E.S.H.U.
Well, He Must O' Thought It Was Quite A Joke Cause It Got A Lot of Laughs From
'Lots Of Folk,
Yeshua Without The 'A' Means, 'We Never Knew Ya'.
Some Gals Would Giggle And I'd See Red,
Some Guy'd Laugh, I Heaped Coals On His Head (Romans 12:20,21), Life Ain't Easy For A Boy Named 'Y.E.S.H.U.',
Well, I Grew Up Quick And I Grew Up Lean, My Prayers Went Deep And My Wits
Got Keen, (Isaiah 7:14,15)
I'd Roam From Town To Town And Give My Name. (Jn. 3:18)
But I Made Me A Vow To Heaven Above
That I'd Teach In Many Synagogues And Find The One That Nicknamed Me 'Y.E.S.H.U.'
It Was Sometime In April And I Was Done Praying, While Another Cross Town Was Busy Betrayin,
And I thought I'd stop And Check In On The Boys.
Who Were Keeping Guard While Counting Sheep,
And Up Walked Judas, And Some Evil Creeps, And The Slimy, Scummy, Serpent Who Named me
'Yeshu'
I knew That Snake Way Back In Eden, And From A Worn Out Bible My Mother Was Readin.
(Isaiah 14:12; Genesis 3:1-14; Ezekiel 28:13-18)
And From That Growth On His cheek And His Evil Eye.
He Was big And Wet And Slimy And Cold,
I Looked At Him And My Blood Ran Cold And I Said,
Good Evening To Ya, My Name Is Yeshua, Now Someones Gonna Die!!
Well, I Hit Him Hard Right Between The Eyes And They All Went Down To Their
Surprise, (John 18:6,7)
Peter Stepped Up And Cut off a Servants ear. (Luke 22:50,51;John 18:10)
But I Picked It Up And Put It Back.
Then All Hells Demons Unleashed Their Scat, And Scripture Says This Was His-Story's
Darkest Hour (Luke 22:53)
I tell ya, I've Fought Tougher Men But I Really Can't Remember When,
He Kicked Like Behemoth And Bit Like Leviathan (Job 40:15-24;41).
I Heard Him Laugh And Then I Heard Him Curse,
He Half Quoted Scripture I Finished The Verse, (Matthew 4) He Stood There Stunned And Speechless' And Said With A Smirk.
"Son Of God, This World's Rough And If You're Gonna Make It, You Gotta Be Tough
And I knew I Wouldn't Always Be There To Steer Ya Wrong.
So I Changed Your Name And Said Good Bye.
I Knew You'd Have To Get Tough Or Die
And It's The Nickname That Helped To Make You Strong."
He Said: 'Now You Just Fought One Hell Of A Fight And I Know You Hate Me, And You Got The Right
To Kill Me Now, And I Wouldn't Blame You If You Do.
But You Ought At Least Thank Me, Before I Fry,
For The Gravel In Your Sandals And The Spit In Your Eye.
Cause I'm The Fallen Angel (2 Corinthians 11:1-15) That Named You 'Yeshu'.
I Said,Tough Is Giving My Life
And Freely,
To Raise It Up, In Three Days Shortly,
And No One Takes My Life Away From Me,
It's After Death And Resurrection
My Name Is Up For Dedication (Philippians 2:5-11)
Then All Knees Bend And Tongues Confess That I Am He. (John 8:24,58; Isaiah 48:12-16)
Insous Pronounced Eeaysous And The Greek Name For Jesus,
Is In The Greek Septuagint Which Was Written Three Hundred Years Before Christ, Just Look At The Name Joshua
Yeshua Is Hebrew For Salvation And Insous Is Derived From This Hebrew Word.
The Abbreviated And Slanderous Form 'Yeshu' And,
"its letters correspond to the abbreviation (יש"ו) for the Hebrew expression ימח שמו וזכרו (yimmach shemo vezikhro), meaning "May his name and memory be blotted
out", an expression used for deceased enemies of the Jewish people. The term is explained as such in the medieval Toldoth
Yeshu narratives."

Things Said Of Yashu, Explains Why Their House Is Left Desolate Until The Day They Say, 'Blessed Is He Who Comes In The Name
Of The Lord.'(Matt. 23:37-39)
9:13 In This Video:

"Let this mind be in you, which was also in Christ Jesus: 6 Who, being in the form of God, thought
it not robbery to be equal with God: 7 But made himself of no reputation , and took upon him the form of a servant, and was
made in the likeness of men: 8 And being found in fashion
as a man, he humbled himself, and became obedient unto death, even THE DEATH OF THE CROSS. 9 Wherefore GOD ALSO HATH HIGHLY
EXALTED HIM, AND GIVEN HIM A NAME WHICH IS ABOVE EVERY NAME: 10 That at the name of Jesus every knee should bow , of things
in heaven, and things in earth, and things under the earth; 11 And that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord,
to the glory of God the Father." (Philippians 2:5-11)
"I have sworn by myself, the word is gone out of my mouth in righteousness, and shall not return , That unto me every knee
shall bow , every tongue shall swear." (Isaiah 45:23)
