A. Genesis of trouble<\/strong><\/p>\n

A.1<\/strong><\/p>\n

Walk into the garden of Eden<\/p>\n

Where life is purest<\/p>\n

Rivers feed the forest<\/p>\n

Parrot and carrot dwell<\/p>\n

Fox and worm dine with the eagle<\/p>\n

Man and woman ever so well<\/p>\n

All is well<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

A.2<\/strong><\/p>\n

A foul wind breaks wind<\/p>\n

Eve and Adam join the band<\/p>\n

A pungent smell pollutes the atmosphere<\/p>\n

Enter nakedness, blame and fear<\/p>\n

Murder, disease and death<\/p>\n

The Genesis of trouble over the earth<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

A.3<\/strong><\/p>\n

So you and I<\/p>\n

Enemies of God became<\/p>\n

In dark dungeons made<\/p>\n

By the treasonous offence<\/p>\n

That bans us from God’s presence<\/p>\n

The sun bowed its beaming head<\/p>\n

Thorns the flour for our bread<\/p>\n

But the rescue plan lay with Adonai<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

B. Shadows of Help<\/strong><\/p>\n

B.1<\/strong><\/p>\n

Scoop the soils of Eden<\/p>\n

Sprinkle them over the flood waters<\/p>\n

And observe them rise for 40 days<\/p>\n

Noah’s ark tells a story:<\/p>\n

In the justice of the flood<\/em><\/p>\n

See the mercy of the ark<\/em><\/p>\n

The punishment upon Christ<\/em><\/p>\n

Our salvation by the blood<\/em><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

B.2<\/strong><\/p>\n

Bring an unknown destination into focus<\/p>\n

Set the bearings of faith and step out<\/p>\n

Head for a land I will show you<\/p>\n

Abraham’s call tells a story:<\/p>\n

What righteousness we receive<\/em><\/p>\n

When in Yahweh we believe<\/em><\/p>\n

Trusting Jesus for morrow<\/em><\/p>\n

Yields joy while the lost sorrow<\/em><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

B.3<\/strong><\/p>\n

Up the slopes of Moriah a long walk<\/p>\n

A father and his promised only son<\/p>\n

Fire, firewood, knife and faith<\/p>\n

Isaac’s sacrifice tells a story:<\/p>\n

The guiltless for the guilty <\/em><\/p>\n

Ready for condemnation<\/em><\/p>\n

Ordained means of Salvation<\/em><\/p>\n

Christ the dearest on the cross<\/em><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

B.4<\/strong><\/p>\n

Look at a man dream on stone<\/p>\n

Angels ascend and descend<\/p>\n

Heaven’s ladder rests on earth<\/p>\n

Jacob’s dream tells a story:<\/p>\n

Undeserved help from heaven<\/em><\/p>\n

Rescues earth from sore bondage<\/em><\/p>\n

Jesus Christ our righteousness<\/em><\/p>\n

Standing sinners forgiven<\/em><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

B.5<\/strong><\/p>\n

A coat of many colours<\/p>\n

Dreams of worshipping sheaves and stars<\/p>\n

Provision that saves a needy people<\/p>\n

Joseph’s rise tells a story:<\/p>\n

Whole nations that know not God<\/em><\/p>\n

Strive but in vain; they perish<\/em><\/p>\n

Those who believe in the Son<\/em><\/p>\n

Have life, and shall not perish<\/em><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

B.6<\/strong><\/p>\n

Egypt was his hiding place<\/p>\n

He left his royalty to free slaves<\/p>\n

Offering his life, interceding for them<\/p>\n

Moses’ Old Covenant tells a story:<\/p>\n

Though very God in nature<\/em><\/p>\n

He took on the form of man<\/em><\/p>\n

To seal a New Covenant<\/em><\/p>\n

That guarantees our future<\/em><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

B.7<\/strong><\/p>\n

Look at the flashing angel’s sword<\/p>\n

Slashing tears over Mizraim<\/p>\n

Goshen sleeps and dreams in peace<\/p>\n

The Passover tells a story:<\/p>\n

Salvation for the elect<\/em><\/p>\n

Love by grace so confounding<\/em><\/p>\n

All hearts stained by Jesus’ blood<\/em><\/p>\n

Live secure in God’s dwelling<\/em><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

B.8<\/strong><\/p>\n

March on through the Red Sea<\/p>\n

Conquer all the ‘nites and ‘tites<\/p>\n

They came they flopped<\/p>\n

Judges and kings<\/p>\n

They all tell a story:<\/p>\n

Among all born of woman<\/em><\/p>\n

None knows to rule so fairly<\/em><\/p>\n

Among all sired of man<\/em><\/p>\n

None reigns supreme like Jesus<\/em><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

B.9<\/strong><\/p>\n

Trace the flight alone<\/p>\n

Of the sole stone<\/p>\n

To slay an armoured giant<\/p>\n

David’s victory tells a story:<\/p>\n

Salvation is of The Lord<\/em><\/p>\n

From most unlikely sources<\/em><\/p>\n

By the Infallible Word<\/em><\/p>\n

He saves ! Jesus our Lord saves<\/em><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

B.10<\/strong><\/p>\n

The follies of Rehoboam<\/p>\n

The flayings of Assyria<\/p>\n

The mouldy lyres and broken harps<\/p>\n

That hung by the rivers of Babylon<\/p>\n

The Suffering Servant of Isaiah<\/p>\n

The wailing laments of Jeremiah<\/p>\n

The broken covenant of Malachi<\/p>\n

They all … tell a story<\/p>\n

Through all of time, day and night<\/em><\/p>\n

Our Sovereign God was speaking<\/em><\/p>\n

Through Jesus Christ, Judah’s lamb<\/em><\/p>\n

Our loving Lord is saving<\/em><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Rescue Mission<\/strong><\/p>\n

C.1<\/strong><\/p>\n

Scoop the soils of Eden<\/p>\n

Sprinkle them over the earth<\/p>\n

Observe how they rise to form Mount Zion<\/p>\n

And hear the roar of Judah’s Lion<\/p>\n

In the shrill voice of The Lamb at Calvary’s altar of sacrifice<\/p>\n

For the red stain that makes a man tidy<\/p>\n

Now let the story begin<\/p>\n

For the baby in the manger<\/p>\n

He is the story<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

C.2<\/strong><\/p>\n

Lived in the Gospels<\/p>\n

Powered in Acts<\/p>\n

Argued in the Epistles<\/p>\n

Closed in Revelation<\/p>\n

Proclaimed with lips<\/p>\n

Affirmed with lives<\/p>\n

Preserved in the early church<\/p>\n

Propagated through the centuries<\/p>\n

Suffered for<\/p>\n

Died for<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

What are YOU doing with it?<\/p>\n
