In the treasury he stood Where lamps remembered wilderness

The one who follows after me Will not walk on

in darkness The light of life was speaking But shadows challenged

right Thy record of thyself is false They argued

with the light The light of the world was shining in

their eyes Some came near the truth Some sharpened their disguise

The light of the world could show the hidden chain No

darkness loves the freedom that exposes its domain They asked him

for the father While neither one was known He spoke of

where he came from Of where he would return He shall

die within your sins Unless belief can see They answered with

another question Who art thou to speak to me?

Lifted up Then they would know The Father had not left

Him alone

Many

believe the same So He spoke where freedom starts

Continuing the word of truth

We are Abraham's children. We never served a throne, but everyone

who serves his sin is slave. Though he denies the

chains, the freedom will be true A servant cannot own the

house The Son abides there still

They

carried Abraham's bloodline But not Abraham's faithful deed

A man who told the truth from God Had become the

one they'd seek to kill They named God as their father

He answered without veil Had God been truly loved by you

The one he sent would not be hated

The father of the lie Was murderer from the first

Falsehood was his native tongue And violence served the thirst Truth

found no welcome in them No charge of sin could stand

The one who truly hears from God Will hear the words

of God

They

called him cursed and foreign Said a devil ruled his breath

He honored still the father And spoke a word beyond their

death The one who keeps this saying Will never taste the

grave They raised the bones of Abraham Who makest thou thyself

today?

Abraham rejoiced to see the day He saw it from afar

and was glad Thou art not fifty years of age Hast

thou seen Abraham?

Before Abraham was He declared the name No borrowed life No

later flame Before the father of the nation Before their honored

claim The sun stood in the ancient present

Before Abraham was Zion

Stones rose from the floor

He hid and passed away The light left the

temple But darkness had not won

But yeah
