Christ the true and better Adam

Christ the true and better Adam

Christ the true and better Adam

 Son of God and Son of man

 Who, when tempted in the garden

 Never yielded, never sinned

He who makes the many righteous

 Brings us back to life again

Dying, He reversed the curse, then

 Rising, crushed the serpent’s head

 

Christ the true and better Isaac

 Humble son of sacrifice

 Who would climb the fearful mountain

 There to offer up his life

 Laid with faith upon the altar

 Father’s joy and only son

 There salvation was provided

Oh what full and boundless love

 

CHORUS

 Amen, amen

 From beginning to end

Christ the story

His the glory

Alleluia, amen

 

Christ the true and better Moses

Called to lead a people home

 Standing bold to earthly powers

God’s great glory to be known

 With his arms stretched wide to heaven

 See the waters part in two

See the veil is torn forever

 Cleansed with blood we pass now through

 

 CHORUS

Christ the true and better David

 Lowly shepherd, mighty King

 He the champion in the battle

Where, o death, is now thy sting?

 In our place He bled and conquered

Crown Him Lord of majesty

 His shall be the throne forever

 We shall e’er His people be
