Prophecy on Prophecy
1 Prophecy on prophecy, a holy virgin birth
A child is born, Emmanuel, God dwells with us on earth
A ruler out of Bethlehem, Egyptian exile and
In Galilee the light of God is shining on a darkened land
Ch. Wonderful, Mighty, Everlasting
Prince of the Peace that will never end
2 In the wilderness a voice, a cry, the way prepared
A highway in the desert and good news for all declared
In parables the truth revealed, but who will comprehend?
Behold your King upon a colt, O let "Hosannas" now ascend!
(repeat chorus)
3 Surely he has borne our grief while cursed upon a tree
They gamble for his garments when his wounds can set them free.
Now death is swallowed by defeat, we hear the prophet call:
The law is written in our hearts, the Spirit poured out on us all.
(repeat chorus)
4 Like a thief he will return, the day, the hour unknown
The elements dissolve in fire, the lamb upon his throne
And there shall be no mourning in the New Jerusalem
Behold our King is coming soon, Oh come Lord Jesus, come Amen!
(repeat chorus twice)
