Take them to the Marburg Colloquy

Luther versus Zwingli it’s bout to be

Two prominent scholars in 1529 I promise they’re boxing theology

This is my body he carved

Luther wrote that in some chalk

Then covered it with a cloth

But patiently waited to show it

Shout out to Philip of Hesse he

Wrote letters to set up successfully

This meeting between these legendary figures

He figured his efforts would definitely

Form a political front

So Charles the V does not get what he wants

To stick with the script of the edict of Worms

To basically seek out and delete the Reformers

But Luther wrote «this is my body»

Emphasis on the word «is»

This is God’s promise

When he spoke the words of institution

Homeboy «is"means «is»

It «is"Christ body

Zwingli ain’t like it

Because it contradicted rationalism

Now he’s trying to explain it

Instead of sticking with the plain meaning

Of what the boy’s reading

He elevated reason

And he changed it

We can’t ignore Ethiopia

These Africans never been colonized

Trace them back to the book of Acts

To the eunuch that asked to be baptized

They never came under the Papacy

Gave the cup and the bread to the laity

And when Luther met Michael the deacon

They both in agreement that Jesus in bread and wine

Really ain’t no way to debate this

Even dating back to Ignatius

He was born in A.D. 35

And discipled by the apostle John

He taught the body in bread

And the African known as Augustine

Can’t forget about Irenaeus

And the Martyr known as Justin

From Cyril to Thomas Aquinas

The testimony of the ancient

Church is really universal

Until Zwingli decided to change it

And Calvin started placing his limits

On Jesus' metaphysics (in the Institutes)

And lead with his presuppositions

And keeping them over the scriptures
