[Verse] The road around Edom grew bitter and long, The soul of the people grew faint and grew wrong. They spoke against heaven, against Moses too: "No bread worth the eating, no water in view." Then fiery serpents moved through the camp, And death left its mark where the murmuring stamped. [Two-Line Refrain] Look and live. Lift your eyes and live. [Verse 2] The people came broken: "Our speech has been sin. Pray that the serpents be taken from men." Moses made intercession; the answer was strange: Not serpents removed, but a sign in their range. A serpent of brass on a pole lifted high; The bitten who looked did not perish and die. [Chorus] Look and live, Not by strength in the hand, Not by fleeing the wound, Not by crossing the land. Look and live, Where the remedy stands; Judgment exposed And deliverance planned. [Final Refrain] Lift your eyes from the dust and the grave. Look where the Lord has appointed to save. The venom was real, and the sentence was near; A gaze born of trust overcame death and fear. Look and live.
