Big James, Christian Parody

  Just for fun I rewrote the lyrics to Big Bad John sung by Jimmy Dean.   This is a Christian Parody of his song that I always liked.  I have no intention in benefitting from this. 

Big James Big James 
Ev'ry mornin' at Temple you could see him arriveHe stood six foot six and weighed 245Kinda broad at the shoulder and narrow at the hipAnd everybody knew, ya didn't give no lip to Big James 
Big Bad James (Big James)
Everyone knew where James called homeHe just drifted into town with  brother John He did say much,  he kinda quiet and shyAnd if you spoke at all, he just said, "Hi" to Big James 
Somebody said he came from GalileeWhere he got in a fight of faith with heated zealWith a thunderous voice like a huge right handSent a Galilean fellow to the Promised Land, Big James 
Big Bad James(Big James)
Then came the day ordered by King Herod
When Herod attacked and saints started cryin'
Believers were prayin' and hearts beat fast 
And everybody thought that they'd breathed their last, 'ceot James 
Through the dust and the smoke of this man-made hell
Walked a giant of a man that the believers knew well
Shouted like thunder, gave out with a groan
And like a giant Oak tree, he just stood there alone, Big James 
Big Bad James (Big James)
And with all of his strength he gave a mighty shout 
Then a neighbor yelled out, "There's a light up above"
And 20 men scrambled from a would-be grave
Now there's only one left down there to save, Big James 
With hope and fears they started back down
Then came beheading falling to the ground
And then filth and anger belched out of that KingEverybody knew it was the end of the line for Big James 
Big Bad James (Big James)
Now they never approached that worthless King
They just shipped James body  to Spain it arrivedThese few words are written on that scroll 
"At the bottom of this boat lies a big, big man, Big James"
Big Bad James (Big James)(Big James)Big Bad James 

Revisiting Nicaea
