Apologetix ApologetiX - December 5 or 6 B.C. Lyrics

Parody of "December 1963 (Oh What a Night)" by The Four Seasons
(Colossians 2:16-17, Romans 14:4-6)

Oh, holy night -- Late December 5 or 6 B.C.
Was a special time in history
In Bethlehem -- oh, holy night
Oh, holy night -- You know we still don't even know the date
The time of year or month when Jesus came
Celebrate it every night
Oh, I -- I got a funny feeling that the Lord ain't amused
When we fight-- about which holidays we all should use
Oh, holy night -- It's not timing that's the vital thing
Jesus never changes seasonally -- Late December or July
Why raise a fuss about which holy days are better?
Those things are shadows now and Jesus is all that matters
Oh, holy night
FIRST RAP
Scholars ain't sure 'bout the birth of our Lord
It could 6 B.C., 5 B.C. 4
The current way we figure out time was not designed
Till 500 years after Christ arrived and died
And the guy who tried to find the right time when Christ had died
And design the time line with B.C. and A.D.
Should get a B, C, or a D for sloppy math
And maybe a new abacus on top of that
Oh, wow, Co-loss-i-ans 2:16, let no one judge you
In regard to sabbaths, holidays or what's good food
Oh, holy night
Put the tinsel on the tree tonight
Read along in Romans 14:5 -- Celebrate it when you like
SECOND RAP
Frankly in the valley of death He's a powerful shepherd in December
Or whatever date the calendar sets
I think I counted 11 months without it and yet
The Christmas holiday gets a vast amount of attention
So I thought I would mention that we don't know just when the
Holy blessed event took place -- It might have been May
The Bible ain't specific about the month or the day
With Orthodox Christmas it's January 6th
For the rest of us Christians December 25th
But the most important thing is that Christ is Lord and King
And that's all the more reason to lift up the Lord Jesus
In all the four seasons
The Christmas rush may be over in December
But up in Heaven they'll be praising the Lord forever
Oh, holy night
