Look and Live

Numbers 21:1-35

[Verse 1] Arad took the captives, Israel vowed and won the field, Then the road around Edom made the weary spirit yield. They spoke against the manna and the God who led the way, And fiery serpents crossed the camp with death in every bite. [Pre-Chorus] The people confessed their sin, And Moses prayed beneath the dying cries. [Chorus] Look and live, lift your eyes, The bronze serpent stood beneath the burning sky. The wound was real, the judgment near, But everyone who looked in faith was healed. [Verse 2] Station after station led them toward the Arnon line, At Beer the princes dug and Israel sang beside the well. Sihon blocked the highway though they asked to pass in peace, Then Amorite cities fell and Israel took the east. [Bridge] Og came down from Bashan with his sons and fighting men, God told Moses not to fear, the giant king would fall like Sihon. From serpents in the camp to kingdoms east of Jordan, The people learned that life and victory came by trusting God's command. [Final Chorus] Look and live, lift your eyes, The bronze serpent stood beneath the burning sky. From death within to kings outside, The word of God became the road to life. [Outro] A glance broke the poison, And the journey moved eastward.
