Lyrics
[Intro] [Cathedral pipe organ massive swell & silver trumpet fanfare]
[Both] THE CLOUD OF WITNESSES! Hebrews chapter twelve
verses one and two!
[Noah] To Elohim God
the Author and Perfecter of our faith!
[Melody] Let us run with perseverance the race marked out for us!
[Verse 1] [Noah & Melody Alternating]
[Noah] From Abel's better sacrifice to Enoch walked with God
[Melody] Through Noah, Abraham and Ruth who holy pathways trod
[Noah] Through Moses, Joshua, and Rahab, and David's royal crown
[Melody] Who through their faith put armies and the roaring lions down
[Both] They died in faith not having seen the fullness of the prize
Yet welcoming from far away the dawn before their eyes
God had planned something better still for us in these last days
That only together with the saints we reach perfection's praise!
[Pre-Chorus] [Full Orchestra & Thunderous Choir Swell]
[Both] Throw off every hindrance, throw off every sin!
Let the eternal race of faith and holiness begin!
[Chorus] [Colossal Grand Sacred Finale Climax]
[Both] Surrounded by a great cloud of witnesses fixing our eyes on Christ!
Who for the joy set before Him was willingly sacrificed!
No idols carved by human hands, no monuments of clay
We run toward the New Jerusalem of everlasting day!
Sing out, stand firm, let the victory resound
Where the immortal crown of life in Elohim is found!
[Verse 2] [Duet Harmony & Full Acoustic Ensemble]
[Noah] We look to God the Father and God the Mother on the throne
[Melody] Drinking the living water that has made our spirits whole
[Both] The Passover, the Sabbath day, the Feasts of holy light
Have led the faithful pilgrims through the outlines of the night!
[Bridge] [Full Cathedral Choir & Orchestral Climax]
[Both] Hallelujah! Hallelujah! Glory to the Great I AM!
Glory to Elohim God! Glory to the holy Lamb!
Faith, endurance, victory through everlasting days!
To Jesus Christ be honor and unending holy praise!
[Chorus] [Maximum Power Grand Finale Climax]
[Both] Surrounded by a great cloud of witnesses fixing our eyes on Christ!
Who for the joy set before Him was willingly sacrificed!
No idols carved by human hands, no monuments of clay
We run toward the New Jerusalem of everlasting day!
Sing out, stand firm, let the victory resound
Where the immortal crown of life in Elohim is found!
[Outro] [Cathedral Organ & Silver Bells Fading to Eternal Peace]
[Melody] Hebrews twelve, one and two...
[Noah] To Elohim God be glory forever and ever. Amen, Amen, and Amen!
[Fade Out]
[End]
