Israel Became a State

Israel became a state

Called Abraham the father of faith

Left his family that was his fate

Israel became a state

Israel became a state

But before he did made many mistakes

He eyed the Egyptian screwed the maid

Israel became a state

Hey hey hey ho ho ho

Israel became a state

Gave Sarah laughter in spite of her age

Got rid of shame on her face

Israel became a state

Israel became a state

After Adam fell man turned to hate

Leaving the garden was a bitter escape

Israel became a state

Hey hey hey Israel

Cast the stone if you have no sin

I’m wearing Eve’s coat of skin

The devil did me in

Israel became a state

Sarah baked bread kneaded a cake

She cooked in a hurry three angels to thank

Israel became a state

Israel became a state

Isaac was offered on a stake

Abraham surrendered for God’s sake

Israel became a state

Hey hey hey ho ho ho

Israel became a state

The angel saved Isaac slay

Isaac never changed his name

Israel became a state

Israel became a state

Isaac dug three wells in the plane

All his neighbors did complain

Israel became a state

Hey hey hey Israel

Isaac loved Rebekah at first sight

Laid eyes on her to his delight

They made love all night

Israel became a state

Followed God for wealth and fame

Would not say his wonderful name

Israel became a state

Israel became a state

Sacrificed bulls for God to taste

Holy cow none went to waste

Israel became a state

Hey hey hey ho ho ho

Israel became a state

His love for Rachel felt so great

Leah looked second rate

Israel became a state

Israel became a state

Rachel scored a second date

Fourteen years Jacob must wait

Israel became a state

Fourteen years

Israel became a state
