Three Witnesses

Three Witnesses

 

Somewhere in time Forever andÝ now touch

We seek the presence Wherein little becomes much

In the night, think about the silent light

As the deafening heartbeat of this world gives voice

Oh apprehend the glorious sight

A star sends forth its light and we rejoice...

 

And the scroll of witness is unfurled

The message that shines from above

As truth reveals itself from heaven

As the light bears the message of God's love

 

Creator, Comforter, Perfect Prophet, Priest andÝ King

Lamb of the Sacrifice, The Perfect offering

 

The cosmos is attending

The story the star is sending

Nature sings of heaven's pure delight

Christ comes to save the world he made tonight.

 

In the night, think about the silent light

As the deafening heartbeat of this world gives voice

Oh apprehend the glorious sight

A star sends forth its light and we rejoice...

 

Creation is a channel through which his glory shines

Eternal power and divine nature intertwines

So it is no use

There is no excuse

The truth cannot be suppressed

It witnesses in righteousness.

 

As do these three:

Creation, Creator and Creation Anew.

They all agree:

In Resurrection We see what is true.

 

Silent light shows the resurrection way

Speaking groans beyond what man can say

A glorious light in the darkness displayed

And we are become the righteousness of God

 

And now it shows from His holy face

No joy of earth can e're replace

It sows in tears and in joy it reaps

Our birth and life and death it keeps

Until the time to laugh is nigh

No tear of Adam now have I.
