CAIN AND ABEL
Author(s): John Listen, Jonas
Songbook: Unpubbed Other
KeyWords: Bible Characters,

Where is Abel? Walking upon a hill;
Where is Abel? Quietly caring for his sheep in the fields,
But Cain is working so hard in his in his own might,
Desperately trying to be so good in his own sight,
But deep inside something's not right

Cain and Abel, offering to the Lord,
Abel pleased Him, all of the works of Cain, alas, were ignored;
In jealous anger he cried, "It is not fair,"
But God said, "If you give in love, I'll hear your prayer,"
But Cain in rage killed his brother there

Now where is Abel, what has your hatred gained?
Your brother's soul cries from the earth his blood has stained,
Cursed from the ground, wicked Cain

Where is Abel, what has your hatred gained?
Where is Abel? Him have I taken but you shall remain;
Where is Abel? Oh, foolish Cain
