History of the Church Lyrics – The Mountain Goats
Singer: The Mountain Goats
Title: History of the Church
In the early days of the Christian Church
There was a movement among freethinking Christians called Gnosticism
Now the Gnostics believed that the incarnation of Christ had been entirely illusory
And their reasoning was as follows
That if God is holy and the body is unholy
Then God would not inhabit a body
Hence people had been seeing things when Christ walked the earth
Now about this time lived a man named Polycarp
Polycarp had received his teaching at the hands of John the Apostle
It was Polycarp’s earnest belief that the Gnostics wеre heretics
And hе visited Rome to tell them so
He met up with a guy named Marcion
Extremely influential among the Gnostics
And Marcion, realizing Polycarp’s status at having studied under John the Apostle
Demanded that he be recognized
Polycarp was about sixty years old and he extended an aging arm
And pointed toward Marcion and said I recognize
I recognize
I recognize
The first born son of Satan
That was Polycarp
