Enoch

1/18/1992

  • There’s a story from the Bible, friends, that I am gonna tell

    It’s ‘bout a man who walked with God and knew Him very well

    So if you think God’s far away, then you’re in for a shock

    Come learn a lesson from the life of a man who’s named Enoch

    Chorus:

    Enoch…Enoch…The man who walked with God

    He was a lot like you and me—don’t think him very odd

    In a wicked generation he was solid as a rock

    Come learn a lesson from the life of a man who’s named Enoch

    Now Enoch wasn’t special—just an ordinary Joe

    He never wrote a single book or had a TV show

    If you think that’s what matters, though, we need to have a talk

    I bet you’ll learn a thing or two from simple ol’ Enoch

    (chorus)

    Now Enoch knew God loved him and that he could be His friend

    He saw this world was fading fast, and coming to an end

    And so he figured he and God should kinda have a talk

    That was the first day of a life-long journey for Enoch

    (chorus)

    Enoch sought to know the Lord as he walked along the way

    The more he learned the heart of God, the more he would obey

    And so he made some choices that his neighbors often mocked

    But wait until you find out what became of our Enoch

    (chorus)

    Enoch and The Lord grew closer each and ev’ry day

    God couldn’t wait for him to die, so he plum took him away!

    The last his fam’ly could recall, he’d gone out for a walk

    And now he lives with God, forever, happily, Enoch!

    (chorus)

    Now Enoch is a shadow of the Bride that’s meant to be

    But if she’s gonna be prepared, it starts with you and me

    So open up your heart to God, and throw away the lock

    And you’ll know what it’s like to walk with Him like ol’ Enoch

    2nd Chorus:

    Enoch…Enoch …The man who walked with God

    He was a lot like you and me—don’t think him very odd

    In a wicked generation he was solid as a rock

    Come learn a lesson from the life of a man who’s named Enoch

    Come learn a lesson from the life of a man who’s named Enoch

 
His intent was that now, through the church, the manifold wisdom of God should be made known to the rulers and authorities in the heavenly realms.Ephesians 3:10
