Promised

Promise in the garden Covenant in the blood Prophets saw the future Every promise fulfilled

Seed of the woman, crush the serpent's head Abraham's Seed, every nation blessed now Isaac on the altar, God provides anew Moses raised his staff, Red Sea parted in two

Root of Jesse, David's promised Son Son of the Highest, kingdom never-ending The Word was with God, The Word was God I AM in the flesh, Emmanuel dwelling

Bethlehem birthplace, Micah had named it Virgin-born Savior, Isaiah proclaimed it Galilee's light, darkness couldn't contain it Spirit on the Servant, the Father anointed Him

Good news to the poor, gave eyes to the blind Captives set free, every chain is broken Lamb without blemish, Passover blood Once-for-all sacrifice, the veil was torn

Isaiah fifty-three, now watch the fulfillment Despised and rejected, acquainted with grief Wounded for rebellion, crushed for our sin Righteous Servant bearing the guilt of men

Silent before rulers, no defense in His mouth Struck and spit on, yet He never backed down Counted with sinners, numbered with the wicked Buried with the rich, Dead Sea Scrolls

Psalm twenty-two, hear the suffering Messiah "My God, My God," while the darkness grew higher Mocked by the crowd, garments divided Hands and feet pierced, exactly described it

Thirst on the cross, vinegar and gall Psalm thirty-four, bones left unbroken Zechariah twelve, the pierced One appearing Psalm sixty-nine, hatred without reason

Thirty pieces of silver, shepherd rejected Zechariah wrote it, betrayal foretold Shepherd struck, scattered sheep Yet the Shepherd lays His life for His sheep

Blessed are those whose transgressions are covered Blessed are those whose transgressions are covered Blessed are those whose transgressions are covered He rose

Isaiah fifty-three Sin-bearer Isaiah twenty-five Death defeated

Daniel seven Son of Man Clouds of glory Kingdom without end

Psalm one-ten David's Lord Right hand Priest forevermore

Rejected Stone Cornerstone Death destroyed King enthroned

No coincidence, divine providence Promise after promise, divine appointment From Genesis forward, the promise was spoken Every shadow pointing to the Christ now risen

Abraham to Moses Judah to Jesse Jesse to David David to Christ

Cross to the empty tomb Tomb to the throne Death to resurrection Christ alone

Seed promised Lamb provided Servant wounded Stone exalted

King rejected King resurrected King ascended King returning

Every nation blessed through Abraham's Seed Every promise yes in Christ indeed Every prophecy finds its righteous fulfillment Every accusation dies at the resurrection

Not mythology Not manufactured Written in the scrolls Then fulfilled in history

The Lamb was slain The Lamb is risen The grave is empty The throne is His

Jesus Christ Son of God Son of David Lord of all
