J's Journal:
I got inspired to write this parody after watching the San Diego Chargers upset our beloved Pittsburgh Steelers in the 1995 AFC Championship game. After the game, they interview Chargers running back Natrone Means, who talked about how nobody had given his team a chance.
He stuttered as he spoke, and it reminded me of Moses back in the Bible when he said, ""O Lord, I have never been eloquent, neither in the past nor since you have spoken to your servant. I am slow of speech and tongue." (Exodus 4:10)
Whether Moses was just a poor public speaker or he had an actual speech impediment, it's interesting to note that he didn't think he'd gotten any better at speaking after God appeared to Him. But God still wanted to use him. And, boy, did He use him. The Father knows best!
The original title for this parody was "He'll Make You Something Great." I revised it in 1999 for release on "Biblical Graffiti."

You Ain't Been Nothing Yet
Parody of "You Ain't Seen Nothing Yet" by BTO
(Exodus 4)
The Lord appeared to Moses. He told him what to say
He said, "I have a tongue that's goofy" but God wanted him that way
He said that any tongue is good enough "so you do what I just said
You go to Egypt to them Israelites and then I'll make you something yet!"
M-m-m-moses said, "I ain't been nothin' yet!
Did someone that's in Heaven up there forget?
You know, you know, you know, I'm 80 and I ain't been nothin' yet!"
("They'll say, You ain't been around -- That's what they'll tell me")
I've heard that Moses stuttered or something of the sort
He turned into a prophet yet he never found the cure
You see that anyone is good enough if they trust what God has said
In the book that I just read cause then He'll put belief in them deep down inside
And then He'll make them something yet
M-m-maybe, you just ain't been nothin' yet
It's comin', it's comin' -- You just hang on and don't fret
B-b-b-baby, He'll make you something yet.
(You need elevated -- God'll make you cool!)
Anyone can be something -- If they trust what God has said
In the book that I just read and then He changes you deep down inside
And then He'll make you something yet
M-m-maybe, you just ain't been nothin' yet
It's comin', it's comin' -- He's the Lord and you never oughta forget
B-b-b-baby, He'll make you something yet
