'LET THERE BE LIGHT'
WHEN GOD LAID THE CORNERSTONE
OF THE EARTH’S FOUNDATION
ELATION JUBILATION RANG FOREVER
ELATION JUBILATION RANG FOREVER
WHILE THE MORNING STARS SANG TOGETHER
AND ALL THE ANGELS SHOUTED FOR JOY
TO HEAR GOD’S VOICE
BOOMING DOWN THE AGES
‘LIGHT BE’
AND THERE WAS LIGHT
 

THE THUNDER OF HIS POWER
HE SPREAD OUT THE NORTHERN SKIES
OVER EMPTY SPACE
HE SUSPENDS THE EARTH OVER NOTHING AT ALL
HE WRAPS UP THE WATERS IN HIS CLOUDS
HE COVERS THE FACE OF THE FULL MOON
SPREADING HIS CLOUDS OVER IT
HE MARKS OUT THE HORIZON
ON THE FACE OF THE WATERS
A BOUNDARY BETWEEN LIGHT AND DARK
BY HIS POWER HE CHURNED UP THE SEA
BY HIS BREATH THE SKIES BECAME FAIR
AND THESE ARE BUT THE OUTER FRINGE
HOW FAINT THE WHISPER WE HEAR OF HIM
WHO THEN CAN UNDERSTAND
THE THUNDER
OF HIS POWER?
 

I, WISDOM

BY WISDOM THE LORD LAID THE EARTH’S FOUNDATIONS
BY UNDERSTANDING HE SET THE HEAVENS IN PLACE
BY HIS KNOWLEDGE THE DEEPS WERE DIVIDED
AND THE CLOUDS LET DROP THE DEW

THE LORD BROUGHT I, WISDOM, FORTH
AS THE FIRST OF HIS WORKS
BEFORE HIS DEEDS OF OLD
I WAS APPOINTED FROM ETERNITY
FROM ETERNITY I WAS APPOINTED
FROM THE BEGINNING 
BEFORE THE WORLD BEGAN
WHEN HE MARKED OUT THE FOUNDATIONS 
OF THE EARTH
I WAS THE CRAFTSMAN AT HIS SIDE
FILLED WITH DELIGHT 
DAY AFTER DAY
REJOICING ALWAYS IN HIS PRESENCE
REJOICING IN HIS WHOLE WORLD
AND DELIGHTING IN MANKIND
I WAS THERE!


IN THE BEGINNING WAS THE WORD

IN THESE LAST DAYS
GOD HAS SPOKEN TO US
BY HIS SON
WHOM HE APPOINTED HEIR OF ALL THINGS
AND THROUGH WHOM HE MADE THE UNIVERSE
THE SON IS THE RADIANCE OF GOD'S GLORY
AND THE EXACT REPRESENTATION
OF HIS BEING
SUSTAINING ALL THINGS
BY HIS POWERFUL WORD
HE WAS WITH GOD IN THE BEGINNING
THROUGH HIM ALL THINGS WERE MADE
WITHOUT HIM
NOTHING WAS MADE
THAT HAS BEEN MADE
HE IS THE IMAGE OF THE INVISIBLE GOD
THE FIRSTBORN OVER ALL CREATION
FOR BY HIM ALL THINGS WERE CREATED:
THINGS IN HEAVEN AND ON EARTH
VISIBLE AND INVISIBLE
WHETHER THRONES OR POWERS
OR RULERS AUTHORITIES
ALL THINGS WERE CREATED BY HIM AND FOR HIM
HE IS BEFORE ALL THINGS
AND IN HIM ALL THINGS HOLD TOGETHER

 
THE WORD BECAME FLESH
O LORD
YOU HAVE EXALTED ABOVE ALL THINGS
YOUR NAME AND YOUR WORD
IN THE BEGINNING
WAS THE WORD
AND THE WORD WAS WITH GOD
AND THE WORD WAS GOD
AND THE WORD BECAME FLESH
AND DWELT AMONG US
AND WE BEHELD HIS GLORY
THE GLORY AS OF
THE ONLY BEGOTTEN OF THE FATHER
FULL OF GRACE AND TRUTH
HE WAS IN THE WORLD
AND THOUGH THE WORLD WAS MADE THROUGH HIM
THE WORLD DID NOT RECOGNIZE HIM. 
HE CAME TO THAT WHICH WAS HIS OWN
BUT HIS OWN DID NOT RECEIVE HIM
YET TO ALL WHO RECEIVED HIM
TO THOSE WHO BELIEVED IN HIS NAME
HE GAVE THE RIGHT TO BECOME CHILDREN OF GOD

 
GETHSEMANE
HIS SOUL EXCEEDINGLY SORROWFUL 
TO THE POINT OF DEATH
JESUS FELL ON HIS FACE AND PRAYED
AS AN ANGEL APPEARED TO STRENGTHEN HIM
IN AGONY, HE PRAYED MORE EARNESTLY
GREAT DROPS OF BLOOD
FALLING TO THE EARTH
‘FATHER, IF YOU ARE WILLING 
TAKE THIS CUP FROM ME,
YET NOT MY WILL BUT THINE BE DONE’
TEARDROPS SLIDING THROUGH THE LIGHT OF GLORY
GOD’S LOWERED HIS FACE ALONGSIDE GETHSEMANE
IN DEEPEST COMMUNION WITH HIS SON

GOD THE SON
PERSON OF THE TRINITY
YOU LAID ASIDE YOUR DIVINITY
AND HUMBLED YOURSELF
TO BE FOUND IN THE FORM OF A MAN
WORD OF GOD MADE FLESH
OBEDIENT EVEN UNTO DEATH
ON A CROSS 
 
SPOTLESS LAMB OF GOD WHO KNEW NO SIN
WILL YOU LET YOUR SOUL BE BLACKENED
TO CARRY THE SIN FOR ALL HUMANITY?
SON OF GOD WHO PROCLAIMED
'THE FATHER AND I ARE ONE'
WILL YOU ALLOW YOURSELF TO BE
FORSAKEN BY ME?

A SECOND TIME HE PRAYED
MY FATHER, IF IT IS NOT POSSIBLE FOR THIS CUP
TO BE TAKEN AWAY
UNLESS I DRINK IT
MAY YOUR WILL BE DONE
TEARS FALLING THROUGH THE LIGHT OF HIS FACE
GOD COMMUNED WITH HIS SON
THERE IS NO OTHER WAY
FOR THE REMISSION OF SIN
FOR MY FALLEN CHILDREN
FOR THE LIFE OF A CREATURE IS IN THE BLOOD
WILL YOU PAY THE PRICE
MY ONLY SON CHRIST?
WILL YOU LAY DOWN YOUR LIFE - 
A GUILT OFFERING
POURED OUT FOR ALL HUMANITY -
A CURSE HUNG UPON A TREE


A THIRD TIME HE PRAYED
MY FATHER, IF IT IS NOT POSSIBLE FOR THIS CUP
TO BE TAKEN AWAY
UNLESS I DRINK IT
MAY YOUR WILL BE DONE
TEARS FALLING THROUGH THE LIGHT OF HIS FACE
GOD'S HEART ONE WITH HIS SON 
HIS WORDS TRUSTWORTHY AND TRUE
I AM THE ALPHA AND THE OMEGA
THE BEGINNING AND THE END
WHEN I SPEAK, IT IS DONE
GETHSEMANE, WHEN HE DIED TO HIMSELF
HE DIED FOR YOU AND ME     
HIS FACE LIKE FLINT TOWARDS CALVARY
IT IS DONE

 
FOR GOD SO LOVED THE WORLD
TWELVE DISCIPLES DESERTED HIM AND FLED
TWELVE LEGIONS OF ANGELS STOOD BY
HEAVEN’S ATTENTION ON THE CHRIST 
TEARS FALLING THROUGH THE LIGHT OF GLORY 
GOD THE FATHER ONE HEART WITH HIS SON 
THE GREAT I AM
HIS FACE LIKE FLINT TOWARDS CALVARY
SILENTLY LIKE A LAMB
LED OUT OF THE GARDEN OF GETHSEMANE
BY MEN
POWER GIVEN FROM ABOVE 
FOR GOD SO LOVED THE WORLD
HE GAVE HIS ONE AND ONLY SON TO DIE
THAT WHOEVER BELIEVES IN HIM
SHOULD NOT PERISH
BUT HAVE ETERNAL LIFE

 
CALVARY, WHEN CHRIST LEFT ETERNITY
CALVARY, WHEN CHRIST LEFT ETERNITY
HE TOOK ON THE YOKE
THE LIKENESS OF HUMANITY
WHO BEING IN VERY NATURE GOD
DID NOT CONSIDER EQUALITY
SOMETHING TO BE GRASPED
BUT HUMBLED HIMSELF
EVEN TO DEATH ON A CROSS
HE OFFERED HIS BACK TO THOSE WHO BEAT HIM
TO THOSE WHO PULLED OUT HIS BEARD
HE OFFERED HIS CHEEK
FROM MOCKING AND SPITTING
HE HID NOT HIS FACE
LIKE A LAMB TO THE SLAUGHTER
SILENT AND MEEK
NOT FEARING DISGRACE
FOR THE SPIRIT OF GRACE
DESCENDED TO HELP HIM
HE SENT HIS FACE LIKE FLINT
KNOWING HE WOULD NOT BE PUT TO SHAME
WHO WOULD CONDEMN HIM?
LET HIS ACUSER CONFRONT HIM
THEY WILL ALL WEAR OUT
FOR THE SOVEREIGN LORD CAME
TO VINDICATE HIM
HIS LIFE TO BE POURED OUT
A GUILT OFFERING FOR SIN


GOLGOTHA
BLOOD SPLATTERED CLOTHES HE WORE
BLOOD SPLATTERED GARMENTS THAT TORE
UNDER THE CROSS HE DRAGGED
ON HIS NAIL SCORED BACK TO CALVARY 
LIKE ONE FROM WHOM MEN
HIDE THEIR FACES 
HE WAS DESPISED 
A MAN OF SORROWS
AND FAMILIAR WITH SUFFERING
AND WHEN THEY CAME TO A PLACE CALLED GOLGOTHA
MEANING, A PLACE OF A SKULL
THERE THEY CRUCIFIED HIM
 

CALVARY
THE FIRST GLEAM OF DAWN
SHINING IN THE DARK
SILHOUETTED AGAINST THE SKY
A NOISY CROWD UPON A HILL
A BREATH OF WIND WHISTLES
THROUGH THE THISTLES
PREPARATION TO DIE
ROMAN SOLDIERS
COLD METAL ARMOUR
JESUS THE CHRIST
A PLANK PUT ACROSS HIS SHOULDERS
HIS WRISTS BOUND TO THE CROSS BEAM
NAILS DRIVEN INTO HIS HANDS
CRUSHING BONES
TEARING TENDONS
SOLDIERS SHARED HIS GARMENTS
AND CAST LOTS FOR HIS CLOTHES
ONLOOKERS STOOD BY 
THEIR EYES ON THE CHRIST 
MOCKED BY THE HIGH PRIESTS 
LIFTED UP FROM THE EARTH
NAILS HAMMERED INTO HIS FEET
CRUCIFIED BETWEEN TWO THIEVES 
A BAND OF WICKED MEN ENCIRCLED HIM
DOGS SURROUNDED HIM
SAVE THYSELF!
IF THOU BE THE SON OF GOD
COME DOWN FROM THE CROSS 
AND WE WILL BELIEVE
NONE OF THE RULERS OF THIS AGE UNDERSTOOD
GOD’S SECRET WISDOM
THAT HAD BEEN HIDDEN 
AND DESTINED FOR OUR GLORY 
BEFORE TIME BEGAN
OR THEY WOULD NOT HAVE CRUCIFIED
THE LORD OF GLORY
JESUS THE CHRIST

 
THE CROSS, THE CROWN OF THORNS
THE CROSS
THE CROWN OF THORNS EMBEDDED DEEP
BLOOD WOUNDS DRIPPING DOWN
HIS NAIL PIERCED HANDS AND FEET
LIFTED UP FROM THE EARTH
BETWEEN GOD AND MAN
PULLING DOWN ON NAIL PIERCED HANDS
HIS BACK RIPPED RAW
THIRTY NINE STRIPES TORE INTO HIS FLESH
SEARING AGONY
AGAINST ROUGH SPLINTERED WOOD
ALL HIS BONES SHOWING
TWISTING, WRITHING
JOINT RENDING CRAMPS 
GASPING FOR AIR AS HE HEAVED
PAIN EVERYWHERE
STRUGGLING TO BREATHE
LACK OF OXYGEN  
HIS HEART LIKE WAX
MELTED AWAY IN THE MIDST OF HIM 
HIS STRENGTH DRIED UP HIS TONGUE CLEAVED TO HIS JAWS
HIS LUNGS TORTURED
STRUGGLING TO GASP AIR
COMPRESSION OF THE HEART
TERRIBLE, CRUSHING PAINS 
DEEP IN THE CHEST
BROUGHT INTO THE DUST OF DEATH
INTERMITTENT UNCONSCIOUSNESS 
HIS HEART BEGAN TO RUPTURE 
BROKEN IN AGONY
BROKEN FOR ME
HIS LIFE POURED OUT LIKE WATER
A GUILT OFFERING 
CURSED UPON A TREE

 
THE CROSS, THE CROWN OF THORNS
THE WRITTEN CHARGE ABOVE HIS HEAD
HIS APPEARANCE SO DISFIGURED
BEYOND THAT OF ANY MAN
FLOGGED, MOCKED, STRUCK, SPAT ON, 
INSULTED, OPPRESSED
HIS FORM MARRED BEYOND HUMAN LIKENESS
DESPISED AND REJECTED BY MEN
THE LOVE IN HIS EYES
AS HE LOOKED TO THE SKIES
AND SAID 
FATHER, FORGIVE THEM
 

THE DEMONIC WORLD TOWERED
FROM THE SIXTH HOUR
THE MORNING STAR RISEN
TO THE FULL LIGHT OF DAY
THE SUN STOPPED SHINING 
THE LAND BECAME SHADOWED WITH DEATH 
AS GOD'S WILL WAS DONE ON EARTH
DARKNESS CAME OVER THE LAND
UNAPPROACHABLE LIGHT BECAME THE BLACKEST SOUL
LIKE A SERPENT ON A POLE
A PROPHETIC SHADOW IN A DESERT LAND
ATOP A HILL IN DARKEST SPACE
A MAN UPON A TREE
FOR THREE OMINOUS HOURS
THE DEMONIC WORLD TOWERED
A GREAT BATTLE FOR THEIR VICTORY
THE CHRIST, THE SON OF GOD TO DIE
GOD’S HOPE FOR ALL HUMANITY
SUDDENLY AT THE NINTH HOUR 
JESUS GAVE A LOUD CRY
‘MY GOD, MY GOD, WHY HAVE YOU FORSAKEN ME?’
PARTED BY THE SIN OF THE WORLD AS HE PAID
HE WHO KNEW NO SIN BECAME SIN FOR ME


BLOOD COVENANT
OH WHAT AMAZING LOVE DIVINE
AT THAT EXACT MOMENT OF CALVARY
GOD TURNED HIS BACK ON HIS SON
AND SHONE THE LIGHT OF HIS FACE TOWARDS ME
A TEAR SLID THROUGH THE LIGHT OF GLORY
FROM THE SIDE OF GOD'S FACE
AS HE SMILED AT ME
THROUGH AMAZING GRACE
MY SINS PAID FOR ETERNITY
AS HEAVEN'S BELOVED LAMB
CHARRED BLACK AND TWISTED
LIKE A SNAKE UPLIFTED
HUNG IN DARKEST SPACE
SUSPENDED BETWEEN GOD AND MAN
THE BLOOD OF THE LAMB
THE WORD MADE FLESH
DRIPPED AT CALVARY
 
 
WAR IN HEAVEN
AND THERE WAS WAR IN HEAVEN
MICHAEL AND HIS ANGELS FOUGHT AGAINST THE DRAGON
THAT ANCIENT SERPENT CALLED THE DEVIL OR SATAN
WHO LEADS THE WORLD ASTRAY
THE DRAGON AND HIS ANGELS FOUGHT BACK
BUT THEY LOST THEIR PLACE                        
AT THE DARKEST HOUR OF CALVARY
AS JESUS HUNG UPON THAT TREE
THE ANGELS OF GOD
DISARMED THE POWERS AND AUTHORITIES
THEY OVERCOME SATAN 
BY THE BLOOD OF THE LAMB
AND THE WORD OF THEIR TESTIMONY
SATAN FELL LIKE LIGHTNING FROM HEAVEN
THE GREAT DRAGON WAS HURLED DOWN
HE WAS HURLED TO THE EARTH
AND HIS ANGELS WITH HIM
THE PRINCE OF THIS WORLD WAS DRIVEN OUT
THE POWERS OF DARKNESS LOST
A OPEN SHOW WAS MADE OF THEM 
TRIUMPHING OVER THEM AT THE CROSS
AND JESUS, LIFTED UP FROM THE EARTH
DREW ALL MEN UNTO HIM

THEN I HEARD A LOUD VOICE IN HEAVEN SAY:

‘NOW HAVE COME THE SALVATION
AND THE POWER
AND THE KINGDOM OF OUR GOD
AND THE AUTHORITY OF HIS CHRIST
FOR THE ACCUSER OF OUR BRETHREN
WHO ACCUSES THEM BEFORE GOD DAY AND NIGHT
HAS BEEN HURLED DOWN’

KNOWING ALL WAS NOW COMPLETED
JESUS SAID ‘IT IS FINISHED’
WITH A LOUD CRY
JESUS BREATHED HIS LAST:
'FATHER INTO YOUR HANDS I COMMIT MY SPIRIT’
AT THAT MOMENT THE TEMPLE CURTAIN TORE APART
THE EARTH QUAKED, THE ROCKS SPLIT APART
TERRIFIED, A CENTURION CRIED
SURELY HE WAS THE SON OF GOD

 
JESUS DEFEATED SATAN IN THE GRAVE
THE EARTH THUNDERED
AND GRAVES SPLIT OPEN
THE GATES OF HELL WERE PLUNDERED
AS THE SECOND ADAM FACED THE DEVIL SATAN
THAT ANCIENT SERPENT WHO LED MANKIND ASTRAY
THE PERFECT MAN WHO KNEW NO SIN
WHO SAW SATAN FALL
LIKE LIGHTNING FROM HEAVEN
WHO TRIUMPHED OVER HIM
AT THE PLACE OF THE SKULL
AND DREW ALL MEN UNTO HIM
SMOTE THE DEVIL ON HIS OWN HOMEGROUND
DEFEATED HIM IN THE GRAVE
TAKING THE KEYS OF DEATH AND HADES AWAY
AFTER PREACHING TO THOSE WAITING IN PARADISE 
HE ROSE TRIUMPHANT ON THE THIRD DAY
IN RESURRECTION LIFE 
BY THE WORKING OF GODS MIGHTY STRENGTH
WHICH HE EXERTED IN CHRIST
TO RAISE HIM FROM THE GRAVE
AS ANGELS IN WHITE ROLLED THE STONE AWAY
HE WALKED OUT FROM THE TOMB THAT DAY
THE PRICE FULLY PAID
 

FOR GOD SO LOVED THE WORLD 
FOR GOD SO LOVED THE WORLD
HE GAVE HIS ONLY BEGOTTEN SON TO DIE
THAT WHOSOEVER WOULD BELIEVE
WOULD NOT PERISH
BUT HAVE ETERNAL LIFE
AS CHRIST PAID THE PRICE FOR ME
BLOOD COVENANT CUT AT CALVARY
THE SUPREME SACRIFICE
THE LAMB OF GOD WHO DIED FOR ME
IS THE SAME GOD THAT THUNDERED ‘LIGHT BE’
THE MAKER OF HUMANITY


IT’S THE WORD MADE FLESH                                                                                                                              
ITS THE WORD MADE FLESH
WHO PAID FOR MY LIFE
THE BLOOD OF THE LAMB
WHO LAID DOWN HIS LIFE
THE SON OF GOD
SO GREAT THE SACRIFICE
ITS THE BLOOD OF THE GREAT I AM
ITS THE BLOOD OF THE GREAT I AM
THAT PAID THE PRICE
THE FATHER ABOVE
WHO IN THE GREATEST LOVE
GAVE HIS BELOVED SON TO DIE
LAYING ASIDE HIS DIVINITY
SPOTLESS PURITY DIED FOR ME
THE BODY AND THE BLOOD OF JESUS CHRIST
THE BREAD AND THE WINE
WHO LOVED ME AS HIS LIFE
AND LAID DOWN HIS LIFE FOR MINE
A COVENANT OF LOVE
IN COVENANT OF BLOOD
KEPT BY THE FATHER ABOVE
KEPT BY THE SON OF HIS LOVE

 
BY HIS STRIPES I AM HEALED
SURELY HE TOOK UP MY INFIRMITIES
AND CARRIED MY SORROWS,
YET I CONSIDERED HIM STRICKEN BY GOD
SMITTEN BY HIM, AND AFFLICTED
BUT AS HE HUNG UPON THAT CROSS
HE BECAME CURSED FOR ME
AS IT IS WRITTEN
'CURSED IS EVERYONE 
WHO IS HUNG UPON A TREE'
HE WAS PIERCED FOR MY TRANSGRESSIONS
HE WAS CRUSHED FOR MY INIQUITIES
GOD WAS PLEASED TO BRUISE HIM
AND MAKE HIS LIFE A GUILT OFFERING
GOD'S BELOVED SON 
IN WHOM HE WAS WELL PLEASED LAID DOWN HIS LIFE
BECAME MY BLOOD SACRIFICE
TOOK THE PUNISHMENT THAT BOUGHT ME PEACE
BY HIS STRIPES I WAS HEALED

 
AND THE LORD BLESSED ME
OUT OF DARKNESS
MARVELOUS LIGHT CAME IN
THE SHEDDING OF BLOOD
FOR THE FORGIVENESS OF SIN
AS HIS SON HUNG CURSED UPON A TREE
THE LORD BLESSED ME AND KEPT ME
THE LORD MADE HIS FACE TO SHINE UPON ME
AND WAS GRACIOUS TO ME
THE LORD TURNED HIS FACE TOWARDS ME
AND GAVE ME PEACE

 
DO YOU KNOW HIM NOW?
HE WHO DID NOT SPARE
HIS VERY OWN SON
BUT GAVE HIM UP FOR ME
SURELY ALONG WITH HIM
HE WILL GIVE ME EVERYTHING ELSE I NEED 
FOR HE PAID THE HIGHEST PRICE 
FOR MY ADOPTION 
MY HEAVENLY FATHER SO LOVES ME
HE KNOWS WHEN A SPARROW FALLS
TO THE GROUND
EVEN THE VERY HAIRS ON MY HEAD
ARE COUNTED
BEFORE A WORD IS ON MY TONGUE 
HE KNOWS IT COMPLETELY 
IN PERFECTION GOD PUT ME TOGETHER
FILLED ME WITH PRICELESS TREASURE
LOOKED SO LONG AND LOVINGLY
COULD NOT TAKE HIS EYES OFF ME
THE PRIDE AND JOY OF HIS HEART
ACHED THAT WE’D NEVER PART
THEN LAID DOWN HIS LIFE FOR ME


THANK YOU FOR DYING FOR ME
LOOKING UP PAST THE FEET OF THE SON OF GOD 
HIGH AND LIFTED UP 
BETWEEN GOD AND MAN
I WISH I'D STOOD BEFORE HIM THEN  
WHEN HE HUNG UPON THAT TREE  
I WISH I'D LOOKED STRAIGHT IN HIS EYES    
SEEN THE TEAR WELL DEEP INSIDE   
BRIM OVER AS HE SMILED AT ME   
AND SAID  
THANK YOU FOR DYING FOR ME  
JESUS 
SON OF GOD
THANK YOU FOR DYING FOR ME  

I AM OF CHRIST 
AND CHRIST IS OF GOD 
AND HIS SPIRIT IN ME    
JESUS THE FIRST OF MANY BROTHERS 
AND THAT IS WHAT LOVE IS 
GOD AND MAN ONE FAMILY

 
BEFORE THE THRONE
TO OFFER HIS BLOOD
THE RANSOM PAID
LOVE CRUCIFIED AROSE (MICHAEL CARD)
THE RESURRECTION AND THE LIFE 
WENT TO OFFER UP HIS BLOOD
BEFORE THE MOST HIGH GOD
ONE MEDIATOR BETWEEN GOD AND MAN
TO APPEAR BEFORE GOD ON MY BEHALF
NOT BY THE BLOOD OF GOATS AND CALVES
BUT BY HIS OWN BLOOD SHED FOR ME
INTO THE TRUE TABERNACLE
NOT SET UP BY MAN
BUT INTO THE PRESENCE OF THE GREAT I AM   
THE MOST HOLY PLACE
THE LOW LIT CRIMSON ROOM 
THE THICK, HEAVY, CRIMSON VEIL
CRIMSON CARPET
THE HUSH
APPROACHING THE THRONE OF GRACE
TO KNEEL BEFORE THE MOST HIGH GOD
FOR IT IS THE BLOOD
THAT MAKES ATONEMENT FOR SIN
A PLEASING OFFERING
TO DO AWAY WITH SIN
ONCE FOR ETERNITY
  
It tore in two a large curtain that hung in the Temple. The curtain was about one metre thick and made of the heaviest and most expensive cloth. It separated the main part of the inner Temple from the 'Holy of Holys', the room at the very centre of the Temple that only one Priest was allowed to go into once a year. It tore from the top to bottom.

BLOOD BLOOD BLOOD                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                           
JESUS’ BLOOD
SHED ON CALVARY
LIKE OINTMENT POURED OUT
GOLD, SILVER, PRECIOUS STONES AND PEARLS
PRECIOUS BLOOD OF JESUS
SHED FOR ME
WATER POURED OUT
AS THEY PIERCED HIS SIDE
BLOOD AND WATER FLOWED
RIVER OF LIFE
CLEAR AS CRYSTAL
SEA OF GLASS
FLOWING DOWN
FROM THE THRONE OF GOD
POURED OUT
TO ALL HUMANITY

ANGELS ENCIRCLING THE THRONE
CHERUBIM STRETCHED OUT THEIR WINGS
CRYING HOLY HOLY HOLY
SPIRIT OF FIRE
SEA OF GLASS
CLEAR AS CRYSTAL
FLASHES OF LIGHTNING
RUMBLINGS
PEALS OF THUNDER
AS THE SMOKE FILLED THE TEMPLE
ALL CRIED
GLORY GLORY
GLORY TO THE LAMB THAT WAS SLAIN

 
BEFORE THE THRONE
IN THE MOST HOLY PLACE
BEFORE THE THRONE SEVEN LAMPS BLAZE
IN THE DEEPEST NIGHT
GOD IS A LAMP TO OUR FEET
A LIGHT TO OUR PATH
SMOKE OF THE ANOINTING WAFTED UP
SWIRLING THE PRESENCE OF THE MOST HIGH GOD
AS JESUS KNELT BEFORE THE GREAT I AM
TO OFFER UP HIS CUP
THE CHERUBIM OF THE GLORY
OVERSHADOWING THE ATONEMENT COVER
STRETCHED THEIR WINGS TIGHT
FACE DOWN WORSHIPPING
WITH ALL THEIR MIGHT
AS HE OFFERED UP
THE GREATEST SACRIFICE
HIS VERY OWN BLOOD
LIKE PERFUME POURED OUT
THE FRAGRANCE OF CHRIST

 
SEATED AT THE RIGHT HAND OF GOD 
CALVARY, WHEN CHRIST LEFT ETERNITY
TOOK ON THE YOKE
THE LIKENESS OF HUMANITY
WHO BEING IN VERY NATURE GOD
DID NOT CONSIDER EQUALITY
SOMETHING TO BE GRASPED
BUT HUMBLED HIMSELF
EVEN TO DEATH ON A TREE
WHO FOR THE JOY SET BEFORE HIM
ENDURED THE CROSS
SCORNING ITS SHAME
THEREFORE GOD HAS EXALTED HIM TO THE HIGHEST PLACE
GIVEN HIM THE NAME ABOVE ALL NAMES
THAT AT THE NAME OF JESUS
EVERY KNEE MUST BOW
IN HEAVEN AND ON EARTH AND UNDER THE EARTH
AND EVERY TONGUE CONFESS THAT HE IS LORD
TO THE GLORY OF GOD THE FATHER
HAVING PROVIDED PURIFICATION FOR SINS
HE SAT DOWN AT THE RIGHT HAND
OF HIS MAJESTY ON HIGH
ALL POWER IN HEAVEN AND ON EARTH 
GIVEN UNTO HIM
SWORN AS THE GREAT HIGH PRIEST
FOREVER IN THE ORDER OF MELCHIZEDEK
CROWNED WITH GLORY AND HONOUR
ALL THINGS TO BE PUT UNDER HIS FEET
HEAD OF THE CHURCH
WHICH IS HIS BODY
THE FIRST AND THE LAST
THE LIVING ONE
WHO WAS DEAD
AND BEHOLD IS ALIVE FOREVERMORE
HE HOLDS THE KEYS
OF DEATH AND HADES 
AT THE NAME OF JESUS 
EVERY DEMON FLEES
THE RIDER ON THE WHITE HORSE 
KING OF KINGS AND LORD OF LORDS 
WHO LEADS HIS ARMY TO VICTORY 
TO GODS GREAT GLORY 
HE REIGNS ETERNALLY

 
FREE GIFT CONFESS BELIEVE
THIS FREE GIFT DIVINE
IS YOURS AND MINE
FOR ALL ETERNITY
FOR THE WORD IS NEAR ME
EVEN IN MY MOUTH AND IN MY HEART
THE WORD OF FAITH
THAT IF I CONFESS AND BELIEVE
GOD RAISED JESUS FROM THE GRAVE
I WILL BE SAVED
FOR IT IS WITH MY HEART THAT I BELIEVE
AND AM JUSTIFIED BY FAITH
IT IS WITH MY MOUTH THAT I CONFESS
AND AM SAVED
AS THE SCRIPTURE SAYS
ANYONE WHO TRUST IN HIM
WILL NEVER BE PUT TO SHAME
FOR EVERYONE WHO CALLS ON THE NAME
OF THE LORD JESUS WILL BE SAVED


UNDER THE BLOOD OF THE LAMB
(RED BELOW:  ORIGINAL AUTHOR UNKNOWN, PROSE INTO POETRY WITH MY ADDITIONS)
HOLY SPIRIT OF GOD
HELP ME COME FACE TO FACE
WITH THE CROSS.
WHATEVER MY SINS MAY BE
I COMMIT MYSELF TO JESUS
PUT ME UNDER THE BLOOD
UNDER THE BLOOD 
OF THE LAMB  
OH, LORD, 
PLACE THE BLOOD 
ON ALL MY PAST 
I THANK YOU FOR THE BLOOD  
IN THE NAME OF JESUS CHRIST 
I THANK YOU FOR THE BLOOD
I POINT TO JESUS WORK 
ON THE CROSS
DEVIL, I BIND YOU ON EARTH 
I OVERCOME YOU BY THE BLOOD OF THE LAMB

AND THE COVENANT WORD OF GOD 
OH THE WASHING OF THE BLOOD
THAT SETS ME FREE
THE PROTECTION OF THE BLOOD
THAT DELIVERS ME
THE OVERCOMING BLOOD
THE TRIUMPHANT VICTORY
OF THE SON OF GOD
 
PUT ME UNDER THE BLOOD.   
PUT ME UNDER THE BLOOD.  
PUT ME UNDER THE BLOOD.  
THE BLOOD OF THE LAMB

 
TENTPEG
AND SINCE I AM A SON
HE HAS MADE ME ALSO AN HEIR
AN HEIR OF ALL THINGS
CHILD OF THE FATHER
CHILD OF THE KING
JOINT HEIR WITH CHRIST
HEIR OF THE PROMISE
GOD CANNOT LIE
BY TWO UNCHANGABLE THINGS
HIS PROMISE AND OATH
I HAVE AN ANCHOR FOR MY SOUL
A FIRM SECURE HOPE

 
THE THRONE OF GRACE
I THEREFORE APPROACH
THE THRONE OF GRACE WITH CONFIDENCE
SO THAT I MAY RECEIVE MERCY
AND FIND GRACE TO HELP IN TIME OF NEED
AND SINCE I HAVE CONFIDENCE TO ENTER IN
TO THE HOLY OF HOLIES
BY A NEW AND LIVING WAY OPENED FOR ME
THROUGH THE CURTAIN THAT IS HIS BODY
AND SINCE I HAVE A GREAT HIGH PRIEST 
OVER THE HOUSE OF GOD
I AM DRAWING NEAR
TO THE THRONE OF GRACE
WITH A SINCERE HEART
IN FULL ASSURANCE OF FAITH
MY HEART WASHED IN THE BLOOD OF THE LAMB
MY BODY WASHED IN WATER FROM HIS SIDE
GOD HAS GIVEN US ETERNAL LIFE
AND THIS LIFE IS IN HIS SON
THIS IS THE TESTIMONY
I CARRY IN MY HEART
I AM THE BRIDE OF CHRIST
IN COVENANT WITH GOD
O THE LAMB OF GOD WHO KNEW NO SIN
BY YOUR BLOOD I MAY ENTER IN
THROUGH THE VEIL
O LORD
WHO IS IT THAT OVERCOMES THE WORLD?
ONLY HE WHO BELIEVES
THAT JESUS IS THE SON OF GOD
FOR THERE ARE THREE IN HEAVEN THAT AGREE
THE FATHER, THE SON AND THE HOLY SPIRIT
AND THERE ARE THREE ON EARTH THAT TESTIFY
THE SPIRIT, WATER AND THE BLOOD 
AND THESE THREE AGREE 
AND SINCE I HAVE A GREAT HIGH PRIEST
WHO HAS GONE THROUGH THE HEAVENLIES
JESUS, THE SON OF GOD
WHO SYMPATHISES WITH MY WEAKNESS
YET WAS WITHOUT SIN
I HOLD FIRMLY TO THE FAITH I PROFESS
FOR YOU ARE FAITHFUL THAT PROMISED
FOR I’M UNDER THE BLOOD 
FOR I’M UNDER THE BLOOD
GOD I COME UNDER THE BLOOD 
OF THE LAMB 

 
BACK TO THE GARDEN OF EDEN
FOR GOD SO LOVED THE WORLD
HE GAVE HIS ONLY BEGOTTEN SON TO DIE
CURSED UPON A TREE
THAT WE MAY EAT AGAIN
FROM THE TREE OF LIFE
OUT OF THE GARDEN OF GETHSEMANE
TO PAY THE RANSOM FOR ALL MEN
TAKING THE CURSE IN OUR PLACE
FROM THE CROSS TO THE GRAVE
SO THAT WHOSOEVER WOULD BELIEVE IN HIM
AND BE BURIED WITH HIM
BY WATER BAPTISM
WOULD RISE WITH HIM BY FAITH
BE SEATED WITH HIM IN THE HEAVENLIES
FAR ABOVE ALL PRINCIPALITIES
MIGHT AND DOMINION
AND EVERY TITLE THAT CAN BE GIVEN
AND SO ARE WE RAISED IN HIM
OUT OF THE GARDEN OF GETHSEMANE
BACK AGAIN TO THE GARDEN OF EDEN

FOUND IN THE LAMB'S BOOK OF LIFE
THEY WILL NOT ENTER HEAVEN
I TAKE COVENANT OATH
 BETWEEN GOD AND MYSELF NOW...
DEAR FATHER GOD, I COME TO YOU IN THE NAME OF THE LORD JESUS CHRIST. I OPEN MY HEART TO YOU. I BELIEVE AND ACCEPT THAT YOU SO LOVED THE WORLD THAT YOU GAVE YOUR ONLY BEGOTTEN SON, JESUS, THAT I WHO BELIEVE IN YOU, WILL NOT PERISH, BUT HAVE EVERLASTING LIFE.

I ACCEPT JESUS PAYING FOR MY SIN ON THE CROSS. WASH ME WITH YOUR PRECIOUS BLOOD. I ACCEPT THAT I AM FORGIVEN. AS JESUS HUNG ON THE CROSS, I BELIEVE THE DEVIL FELL LIKE LIGHTNING FROM HEAVEN, THAT JESUS TRIUMPHED OVER THE DEVIL AT THE CROSS, THE EVIL PRINCE OF THIS WORLD WAS DRIVEN OUT, AND YOU, JESUS, DREW ALL MEN UNTO YOURSELF. NOW HAS COME THE SALVATION AND THE POWER AND THE KINGDOM OF OUR GOD. YOU SAID, IT IS FINISHED. THE WORK IS DONE. BY THE POWER OF YOUR BLOOD, SHED FOR ME, THE DEVIL HAS NO FURTHER AUTHORITY OVER MY LIFE. I AM IN BLOOD COVENANT WITH GOD THE FATHER, THROUGH JESUS CHRIST, THE MEDIATOR, LIFTED UP FROM THE EARTH BETWEEN GOD AND MAN. JESUS CHRIST, WHO PAID THE RANSOM FOR ME. YOU DEFEATED THE DEVIL IN HELL, TAKING FROM HIM THE KEYS OF DEATH AND HADES. GOD RAISED YOU FROM THE DEAD WITH IMMENSE POWER AND YOU ARE NOW SEATED AT THE RIGHT HAND OF GOD. YOU ARE KING OF KINGS, LORD OF LORDS. I BELIEVE WITH MY HEART, AND CONFESS WITH MY MOUTH THAT YOU, LORD JESUS CHRIST, ARE MY LORD AND SAVIOUR. I NOW PUT MY FAITH IN YOU. I KNOW GOD IS FAITHFUL TO PUT HIS HOLY SPIRIT IN ME AND THAT I AM NOW BORN OF GOD, A CHILD OF GOD, A NEW CREATION - ALL OLD THINGS PASSED AWAY. HOLY SPIRIT, YOU ARE CLOSER THAN A BROTHER TO ME. I AM NOW AN HEIR OF GOD AND JOINT HEIR WITH CHRIST. HELP ME TO WALK WITH YOU DAY BY DAY. LEAD ME, GUIDE ME. YOU WILL NEVER LEAVE ME NOR FORSAKE ME. YOU ARE WITH ME ALWAYS. I THANK YOU FATHER, IN JESUS NAME.
