A House Divided
Mark · New Beat
[Intro - the crowded house]
The multitude came together again,
So that they could not so much as eat bread.
His friends went out to lay hold on him;
The scribes came down and named Beelzebub.
[Refrain - three questions]
How can Satan cast out Satan?
If a kingdom be divided, how shall it stand?
If a house be divided against itself,
That house cannot stand.
[Verse 2 - the strong man's house]
No man can enter a strong man's house
And spoil his goods, except he bind him first.
Then he will spoil the house;
The strong one must first be bound.
[Bridge - the unpardonable word]
All sins shall be forgiven unto the sons of men,
And blasphemies wherewith soever they blaspheme.
But he that blasphemeth against the Holy Ghost
Is in danger of eternal damnation.
[Outro - those outside]
Thy mother and thy brethren seek for thee.
He looked round on those who sat about him:
Whosoever shall do the will of God,
The same is my brother, and my sister, and mother.
