The House, The Holy, The Third (John 2:19)
True Strength
The Messenger of God
Showed Ezekiel a place
A Third Temple vision
Filled with the Glory of The Lord!
He described the dimensions
Measured it with his rod
Different was this Temple
Then the two that came before
No shadows of things to come
In the Holy of Holies
Instead of the Mercy Seat
Now sits the Throne of God!
No longer stood a wall
To divide the Gentile from Jew
For both now dwell
Together with the Lord!
The House, the Temple, the Body of Christ
The Holy Spirit fills His presence inside
The Third, The Ever-Living Waters flow
And those who drink will never die!
The House, the Temple, the Body of Christ
The Holy Spirit fills His presence inside
The Third, The Ever-Living Waters flow
And those who drink will never die!
Ezekiel was shown
A river from the Temple flowed
Out under the threshold
It flowed to the East
And where the waters flowed
In abundance life sprung
Trees grew by the river
And the Dead Sea filled with life!
During the time of Jesus
When He went through Samaria
He stopped at Jacob's well
And asked a woman for a drink
He offered her Living Water
Those who drink will never thirst
It will well in them like a spring
A spring of Eternal Life!
The House, the Temple, the Body of Christ
The Holy Spirit fills His presence inside
The Third, The Ever-Living Waters flow
And those who drink will never die!
The House, the Temple, the Body of Christ
The Holy Spirit fills His presence inside
The Third, The Ever-Living Waters flow
And those who drink will never die!
Jesus spoke in the courts
That He would tear the Temple down
And in three days
He will build it again
The Jews rebuffed His claim
It took many years to build
But what they didn't know
It was His Body that had to die
After His crucifixion
And His death upon the Cross
Buried for three days
He was then raised to life!
Not of mortar and clay
The Temple now of Spirit made
And we’re the living stones
And Jesus our High Priest!
The House, the Temple, the Body of Christ
The Holy Spirit fills His presence inside
The Third, The Ever-Living Waters flow
And those who drink will never die!
The House, the Temple, the Body of Christ
The Holy Spirit fills His presence inside
The Third, The Ever-Living Waters flow
And those who drink will never die!
Those who drink will never die!
Those who drink will never die!
Those who drink will never die!
