Lyrics by Timothy Price adapted from Mark 5. Music by Timothy Price
After posting Legion last week, I decided to make a song out of Mark 5:1-18, which is the story of a man possessed by many demons who confronts Jesus. Jesus asks the man his name, and he answers, “My name is Legion, for we are many!” Legion asked Jesus not to send them out of the area or “into the abyss.” (Luke 8:31). Jesus allowed the demons to go to a herd of pigs. The herd runs into the lake and drowns. The people ask Jesus to leave. The man wants to go with Jesus, but Jesus does not let him.
1) Threatening Rain. 2) Rain. 3) Clear.
We got .31 inches of rain today. No Fooling!

[Chorus]
My name is Legion
For we are many
My name is Legion
For we are many
My name is Legion
For we are many
Please don’t send us into the Abyss
[Verse 1]
He was crazed, he was naked, and he lived among the dead
No chains could bind him, and he broke them like they were his bread
When he saw Jesus, he down fell to his knees
“Oh, Son of the Most High God! Please don’t torture me!”
[Chorus]
[Verse 2]
On a hillside nearby where pigs were in ecesis
“Send us into the pigs!” The demons asked and begged of Jesus
He gave them permission, and the man he was unbound
Two thousand pigs rushed to the lake, where they were drowned.
[Chorus]
[Verse 3]
When the people came to Jesus, they did not expect to find
The man sitting there, fully dressed and in his right mind
What happened to the man and pigs gave them much to fear
They plead with Jesus, “Man! Please, go and get out of here!”
[Chorus]
[Bridge]
Jesus stepped in the boat, the man begged to go with him
Jesus did not let him, “Go home and tell how much the Lord has done for you”
So the man went away and told in the Decapolis how much Jesus had done for him.
All the people were amazed.

The poor pigs! Lol… well I am a veggie.
Crazy how those clouds evolved into this song. Neat drums, I quite like the Jesus rap and you go out with some cool guitar. Thanks Tim! xx
Thanks, Resa. Your were part of the inspiration for the song. You devil you! 🤪
😈
There’s demons in these clouds all right. Great work Timothy.
Thanks, Shey.
Crazy clouds! Demonic indeed!
We had rain Easter Sunday in the morning and then again on April 1st.
The desert is getting its replenishment of water, that’s for sure!
Thanks, Nancy.
Oh, Tim, I love the song and great solo!
Mercy does not go very far with animals! 🙄
Expressive and beautiful skies.
Thanks, Marina. The pigs got no consideration.
Fantastic!
Thanks, Dawn.
I feel for those poor pigs!
That is a good load of rain you got yesterday! You caught some impressive storm clouds. Our weather is headed back that way tomorrow.
Thanks, Lavinia.
I never cease to be amazed at how changeable your skies are.
Thanks, Liz.
You’re welcome, Tim.
Yikes, this brings back too many memories from my early school days….
Did the nuns try to cast demons out of you and send them to the pigs? You got exorcism instead of exercise? I’ve heard Catholic school could be rough. Thanks, Brian.
Let’s just say the nuns, brothers and priests and I didn’t get along the best – they didn’t like students questioning their motives.
Been there. I was told by a Sunday school teacher that I was of the Devil for asking questions he couldn’t answer. He told me the fact that I kept snakes was proof. I’m pretty sure Linda would agree with him on that last point.
She would definitely agree with the snake part, but not the Devil part ha.
Only one strike is better than two. “The Devil made me do it!” Remember Deep Purple and Sister Geraldine?
