  It’s Jewish

  When we present G-d’s holy Law
  And arguments from Scripture draw,
  Objectors say, to pick a flaw:
  “It’s Jewish”

  Romans 7:12,22; Psalms 19:7-8;
  Revelation 14:12: Acts 17:11…

  Though at Creation Yeshua blessed
  And sanctified the Seventh Day for rest,
  The same belief is still expressed:
  “It’s Jewish!”

  Genesis 2:2-3; Exodus 20:10-11

  Though with the world this rest began
  And hence through all the Scriptures ran,
  Even though Yeshua said ’twas made for man”…
  “It’s Jewish!”

  Mark 2:27: Luke 4:16: Acts 17:2; Matthew 24:20;
  Luke 23:56; Acts 13:42-44; Isaiah 56:2-7

  Though not with Jewish rites which passed,
  But with the moral Law ’twas classed,
  Which must exist while time shall last—
  “It’s Jewish!”

  Matthew 5:17-20; James 2:10-12: Romans 3:31
  Psalms 111:7-10: 1John 2:3-4; Revelation 22:14

  If from the Bible we present
  The Sabbath’s meaning and intent,
  This answers every argument:
  “It’s Jewish!”

  Exodus 16:4-5, 26-28; 20:8-12;
  Ezekiel 20:12-25, Isaiah 58:13-14

  Though the disciples one and all,
  Continued still this rest to call
  The Sabbath day, this answers all:
  “It’s Jewish”

  Acts 16:13; 18:4; Luke 6:5:
  Matthew 28:1; Acts 15:21; 17:2

  The Gospel Teacher’s plain expression
  That “sin is of the Law transgression”
  Seems not to make the least impression;
  “It’s Jewish”

  1John 3:4; Romans 4:15; 3:20: 7:7
  
  They love the day of man’s invention,
  But if the sabbath day of Yeshua we mention
  This puts an end to all contention:
  “It’s Jewish”

  1Timothy 4:1; 2Thessalonians 2:3-4;
  Isaiah 58:13, Matthew 12:8

  Oh ye who thus G-d’s day abuse
  Simply because ’twas kept by Jews,
  The Saviour, too, you must refuse—
  “He’s Jewish”

  John 4:9-10; Hebrews 7:14; Mark 15:32

  The Scriptures, then, we may expect
  For the same reason you’ll reject.
  For if you stop to recollect,
  “They’re Jewish!”

  Romans 3:1-3; James 1:1

  Thus the apostles, too, must fall,
  For Andrew, Peter, James, and Paul,
  Thomas, Matthew, John, and all,
  Were Jewish.

  Acts 16:20; Philippians 3:5

  So to your hapless state resign
  Yourself in wretchedness to pine;
  Salvation surely you’ll decline—
  “It’s Jewish!”

  John 4:22; Hebrews 8:8; Matthew 10:6; 15:24
