Adam, Micah, Isaac, and Abraham,
The humble shepherd and the lamb.
Moses, Aaron, Haggai, and King Solomon,
Paul, Jacob, Joshua, and John.
King David, Peter, Joel, and Samuel,
Daniel, Amos, Jonah, and Ezekiel.

From Genesis, Exodus, to Deuteronomy,
From Isaiah, Jeremiah, to Zechariah.
Before our eyes, it will unfold;
The prophets of old foretold.
The Alpha, Omega, and Sovereign,
He will come to end all suffering.
An ear, please, brother, lend;
The Redeemer, the Almighty, send.

From heaven, an angel descends,
Spoke only to these three wise men.
'I am thy Lord's word and messenger;
In Bethlehem, there's a child in a manger.
My words, don't thou disregard;
You shall follow the brightest star.
To this, thou shall not inquire;
To all things, He's the Sire.
Gifts for Him thou shall acquire,
The holy offspring and Messiah,
Son of Joseph and Mary;
Never more shall thee be weary.'

I put my trust in You completely;
I give to Thee my soul freely.
His Majesty, Lord, and Savior,
Betrayed for pieces of silver.
Our Father and Son of Creation,
For everlasting life's solution.
Surely goodness and mercy will follow me;
You quench my soul when I'm thirsty.
Blessed are those who endured;
Your place in heaven is secured.
You came to cleanse us from our sins;
In You, life truly begins.
In prayers, we kneel before Thee;
Only my Lord can restore me.

On a hill called Calvary,
On a cross, You died for me.
Mary cried, and the sky opened wide;
The kingdom of heaven welcomed You back inside.
A sacrifice had to be made;
For our souls, the price You paid.
Now death is no longer the end;
So lift thy voice and say, 'Amen.'

Herald trumpets sound Thy return;
Pagans in hell shall forever burn.
They won't be caught in Thy rapture;
In paradise, I'll dwell ever after.
Bread, wine, song, and laughter;
We turn the page to a new chapter.
Father, Son, and Holy Ghost,
The true Spirit holds me close.
Laid my burdens down by the river;
In Your grace, I'll live forever.
