Overture
CHORUS
Gather all you who will, hear of the God, slain for his children's sin
Come the story recall, all he has done to bring his family home
The overflowing holy heart, of God begat a world of good
Adam's treason echoes still, lay the children in the ground
Waves of sin rose high and wide, Noah listened through the noise
A voice like many waters surged, Up through death will come new birth
CHORUS
Abram held the promise close, Raised the blade above his head
A son will surely give his life, Know the promise breaks the knife
By now Egypt like a grave, Held a captive people slaves
Moses thru the waters walked, And God made Israel his own
CHORUS
Israel a son enthroned, David sang I'm just a man
The only king who'll win this war, Is crowned above the cherubim
The virgin mother out of breath, Birthed the Word who dwelt in flesh
Mercy showed the world a face, Jesus punished in our place
CHORUS
Let His song fill the skies, Eden's reprise, God and man home again
Gather all you who will, Hear of the God, slain for his children's sins
Come the story recall, all he has done, to bring his family home again
