remind me of this song I wrote many years ago. It was one of many I wrote as a sort of "rock opera" type thing based on "Who Hath Believed Our Report" and starts with Paul asking that question quoting Isaiah and moving through other songs by the disciples then coming to our day with the rapture and then this one directed to those left behind as sung by Jesus Himself being very sad:

 

WAS IT NOT TOLD YOU

 

Was it not told you? 

How did it take you by surprise? 

Was it not clearly laid,

laid out before your wandering eyes?

 

Was it not a story told

so many times since so long ago? 

How did you not hear it? 

How can you say you did not know?

 

Was it not told you?

 

- guitar- (Jesus in anguish)

 

Was it not told you?

 

Now you must die. 

 

Was it not told you?

 

Was it not told you?

 

Was it not told you?

 

Was it not told you? 

 

And as you weep and wail

gnash your teeth and cry

remember this relationship

I bought for you and I.

 

You were the body I was the head. 

Yet you tried to live without Me 

now live without your own instead.

 

Was it not told you...

Depart from me!
