Track 5: The Scarlet Thread
The lineage of Heaven is written in scars
Not in the pride of the kings or the stars
It’s Tamar’s persistence in the face of the shame
It’s Rahab’s red cord and her faith in the Name
The”forgotten” and”foreign” the broken and bold
Are the pillars of fire in the story of old
See Ruth in the harvest, a widow so poor
Now the mother of kings at the threshing floor
See the boy with the sling, while his brothers were tall
God chooses the weakest to shatter the wall
The lineage is humble, the branches are bent
But every”forgotten” was Heaven-sent
The sky is His temple and our heart is His home
He builds up a kingdom from a discarded stone
From the dust of the outcast to the throne of the Son
The work of the Ages is finally done!
Oh, Adonai! Oh, Adonai!
Deborah’s song and the courage of Jael
When the hearts of the mighty were starting to fail
The prophets in pits and the exiles in chains
Are the pulse of the blood that is in Jesus’ veins
The”Least of These” were the chosen and prized
For the wisdom of God is what man has despised
Abraham’s promise! (Hept through the flame!)
Isaac’s laughter! (Glory to His Name!)
Jacob the wrestler! (The struggle and the grace!)
Until we see the King in the Second Adam’s face!
Seed that matters!
Every name matters! Every life counts!
From the lowliest valley to the highest of mounts!
The scarlet thread is weaving!
The promises are breathing!
On the sky able, undeniable!
The sky is His temple and our heart is His home!
The King has descended from His sapphire throne!
He’s the root of the Jesse! The Lion of the tribe!
With the glory that no human tongue can describe!
Worthy is the Lamb! Worthy is the Lamb!
Worthy is the Lamb! Worthy is the Lamb!
Tamar. Rahab. Ruth
Bathsheba. Mary
The Lineage of Grace
One body. One blood. One name.
