about

I wrote this song in honor of an idol of mine the ancient prophet of Judah Jeremiah.

lyrics

MIGHTY JEREMIAH
by Mike Vargas 10/2001

By God he was accepted
By men he was rejected
The prophet stood tall
Like a fortified wall


By God he was attested
By kings he was detested
The prophet stood tall
For the sake of the call


Mighty Jeremiah
With the fire in his bone
Mighty Jeremiah
With the fire in his bones


He ate the bread of affliction
While serving the bread of salvation
The prophet stood firm to the word
That he heard

He spoke by the Spirit of Messiah
False prophets called him a liar
But the prophet stood sure
To the word of the Lord

Mighty Jeremiah
With the fire in his bones
Mighty Jeremiah
With the fire in his bones

Mighty prophet, rejected in his home

Lord make me like Jeremiah
Burn your word in my heart
Like a fire in my bones

I desire to be like Jeremiah
With the fire in my bones
I desire to be like Jeremiah
With the fire in my bones
