"Esoteric Text Found In A Religious Garbage Can"

(Hallelujah)
I read, from Hebrews 11-12
And so, from this one man (Hallelujah), Abraham
And he as good as dead (Hallelujah)
Came descendants as numerous as the stars in the heavens (Hallelujah)
And, and, as countless as the grains of sands on the seashore
The stars in heavens and the grains of sand on the seashore
That would likely be a very large number
How big is it? I'm glad you asked!
Recently, scholars calculated that it would require ten
To the twenty-eighth power, to count or identify
All the stars in the heavens, and coincidentally
Ten to the twenty-eighth power to count or identify all the grains of sand on the seashore
Coincidence? I think not!
Therefore, based on this scientific calculation
We can clearly determine the descendants of Abraham will number
Two, times ten to the twenty-eighth power, meaning
Two times ten with twenty-eight zeroes after it
Twenty zeroes, my friends
That's not millions, that's not millions, that's not even zillions, it's more (Hallelujah)
But applied to the descendants of Abraham (Hallelujah)
These extremely large numbers suggest one thing (Hallelujah)
A population not only of this Earth, (Hallelujah)
But also of the universe as well (Hallelujah)
Since the Bible is God's holy word, and since God cannot lie, (Boy!)
This confirms the long-held belief that there are beings
In outer space (Boy!)
So the question, my friends, is not are there aliens, no!
The question is, are those aliens saved? (Boy!)
Have the heard the gospel? I think not! (Boy!)
I've never heard of any missionary astronaut, have you? (Hallelujah)
No! And since I do not believe that Jesus Christ (Boy!)
Died that terrible death on the cross (Hallelujah)
Simply to allow a few million Christians to rule and reign (Boy!)
Over a few hundred million Jews in the new Jerusalem (Hallelujah)
Then perhaps, what is suggested here, in Hebrews 11-12 (Boy!)
Is that we Christians, may be called upon (Boy)
To venture forth into the Cosmos
To preach (Boy!) the gospel of Jesus Christ (boy!)
To unholy beings in outer space (Boy!)
And, in time, conquer the universe in God's word
Just as Ishmael conquered the land of Canaan
In the early days of the bible
This would be a prelude to the populating of the universe by a sinless holy, ruled over by those (Boy!) living in the new Jerusalem (Hallelujah)
Can (Boy!) souls be saved in outer space, you ask? (Boy!)
You betcha! (Hallelujah)
What does this tell us (Boy!) about the Crucifixion? (Hallelujah)
It tells us that Jesus Christ died that death on the Cross (Boy!)
Not just for your sins (Hallelujah) Not just for my sins
But for the sins of the whole (Boy!) of the Universe
We are told that we Christians be like Jesus (Boy!)
The messiah (Hallelujah) As sons of god
And we Christians (Boy!) will rule and reign
Over the whole (Boy!) (Hallelujah) of the universe (Boy!)
(Hallelujah) (Boy!) (Hallelujah) (Boy!)
(Hallelujah) (Boy!) (Boy!) (Boy!)
