We're river-crossers, Hebrews is our name;
|
|
| 1. | We're river-crossers, Hebrews is our name; |
| | Crossed the Euphrates, idols all are slain. |
| | Entered into Canaan, left the other side; |
| | Seeking a city, which shall e'er abide. |
| | We are the Hebrews, that's our real name; |
| | We've crossed the river, we are not the |
| | same. |
| | Building God's house that He may dwell on |
| | earth, |
| | Building God's house that He may dwell on |
| | earth. |
| | We were bound in Egypt, building for the foe; |
| | God of the Hebrews said, "Let my people go!" |
| | We have crossed the Red Sea, reached the |
| | other side; |
| | Pharaoh, his army, perished in the tide. |
| | God of the Hebrews, speak again today; |
| | God of the Hebrews, lead us all the way. |
| | Save all Your people from this crooked age, |
| | Save all Your people from this crooked age |
| 3. | We're released, and now we build the house of |
| | God; |
| | His tabernacle is our true abode. |
| | Forty years of oldness left in Jordon's tide, |
| | Fight we for Canaan on the kingdom side. |
| | Salvation's Captain sounds the trump of |
| | war; |
| | City by city, take we more and more, |
| | To gain His kingdom, enter into rest, |
| | To gain His kingdom, enter into rest. |
| 4. | What was once God-given soon a form |
| | became; |
| | Then John the Baptist did God's word |
| | proclaim- |
| | Make another crossing, God is going on; |
| | Judaism's over; listen to My Son! |
| | Turn from the prophets, turn unto the Son; |
| | He's My Beloved, He and I are one; |
| | His Word will save you to the uttermost, |
| | His Word will save you to the uttermost. |
| 5. | Now we're overcomers on the sea of glass; |
| | This final crossing will forever last. |
| | Sing the song of Moses, make the praise |
| | complete, |
| | Look! All our enemies beneath our feet. |
| | We're overcomers, that's our real name. |
| | God has His city; Satan gets the shame. |
| | God is our portion for eternity, |
| | God is our portion for eternity. |
