Story behind the song
Written for a Christmas project I am working on. This song is for a made-up story about the donkey that carried Mary into Bethlehem, and later into Egypt. In the story, the donkey's name is Nabal, which means 'fool', and his old master, who used to beat him, named him that. His new master, Joseph, is a much kinder master. This story underlines the contrast between our old master (Satan, the World, and our sinful Self) and our new Master (the Lord Jesus).
Lyrics
Verse 1: My old master was a tyrant, he was wicked, cold and cruel He beat me almost daily, and he called me a fool. He thought that I was useless, just an unwitting tool, Called me stupid, He called me a fool. Verse 2: My new master is a diamond, his eyes are full of care He paid for me with love, and what he has he shares And I work for him with joy, for my burden is light Yet I’m carrying the king of kings Through the night. Chorus: I’d be a fool to go back to the life I had before For my old master doesn’t own this servant anymore. If he ever comes a calling, I’d just kick him in the head And tell him, my new master owns me instead. Verse 3: You know, you used to be like that, a servant of sin Til the day that Jesus bought you, and you invited Him in. And no man can serve two masters, but it seems to me we try For we leave the Lord of Love for sin’s pig sty. Chorus: (2 times) You’d be a fool to go back to the life you had before Back to sin, and feeling guilty, being rich and feeling poor! If sin ever comes a calling, You just kick it in the head And tell it, your new master owns you instead.
