Matthew declares the promised king, the son of David

has come.

From Abraham through David's throne The promised line moves toward the

sun An angel steadies Joseph's heart In Bethlehem the child is

born The Magi kneel while Herod schemes Through Egypt's night the

child is kept The Nazareth becomes his home While John calls

Israel to repent The heavens open at the Jordan

For fishermen arise and follow From wilderness

to Galilee The ancient promise walks among

them

Behold the king, let heaven resound The blind now see,

the lost are found The wind bows low, the waves lie

still The broken rise beneath his will Lift up your

eyes, the promise fulfilled The Son of the living God

revealed The poor receive the

kingdom's promise The morning hear that comfort comes Prayer and mercy,

trust and treasure Enemies are answered with love Rain and flood

strike rock and sand. One house stands, the other falls. The

leper's flesh is cleansed before him. The distant servant rise is

healed. The fever leaves, the crowds draw near. The drowning vessel

fights the storm. He speaks and raging waters settle. While frightened

men behold his power. No sickness, darkness, wind or wave Can

stand before the promised king Behold

the king, let heaven resound The blind now see, the lost

are found The wind bows low, the waves lie still The

broken rise beneath his will Lift up your eyes,

the promise fulfilled The son of the living God revealed

Two tormented men come from the tombs The swine rush

headlong to the sea The paralyzed man lifts his bed And

Matthew leaves the customs seat A trembling woman finds the hem

A ruler's daughter breathes again Two blind men see the mute

man speaks The twelve are sent through field and town John's

messengers return with proof the weary hear the call To rest

on Sabbath, withered fingers open While hardened rulers plan his fall

The sign of Jonah answers pride The sower casts on varied

ground The kingdom grows through seed and harvest The hidden treasure

waits to be found Yet Nazareth rejects the prophet And John

falls beneath the blade Five thousand eat beside the water While

twelve -fold baskets are retrieved Peter sinks beneath the waves And

Jesus draws him from the deeper Canaanite Receives her mercy Four

thousand eat and rise renewed Whom do men say that I

am? The question hangs before them all. At Caesarea Philippi,

Peter answers without fear.

Behold the king, let heaven resound. The blind now see,

the lost are found. The wind bows low, the waves lie

still The broken rise beneath His will Lift up your

eyes, the promise fulfilled The Son of the living God

revealed The promised Christ the living Son The kingdom's work has

now begun Through mercy, truth and power display The Son of

God stands unafraid Now on the prize

The Son of the living God

revealed

The King revealed.
