PSALMIST - The Book of Things Written

*FOR MICHAEL FEALKO ----------------------------------------------------------------- THE BOOK OF THINGS WRITTEN [INTRO] In the hush before the thunder spoke, A door stood wide in burning light. Time bent low before the throne, And crowns were dust before His sight. --- [VERSE 1] I saw the world in fractured flames, Kings in gold with hollow eyes. Crowns were forged from fear and lies, Empires dressed as paradise. Blood cried out beneath the ground, Truth was traded, souls were sold— Yet heaven’s scroll was tightly bound, Waiting for a hand made bold. --- [PRE-CHORUS] Who is worthy? Who can stand? Who can read what fate demands? All of heaven held its breath— Till mercy stepped through death. --- [CHORUS] Worthy is the Lamb who came, Worthy is the Lamb who reigns! By His scars the dark is broken, By His name all chains are slain. Fire may fall and worlds may shake, Still His kingdom overcomes— Victory is written red By the Lamb who was once slain. --- [VERSE 2] Beasts rose up from sea and land, Speaking crowns of blasphemed might. Babylon poured out her wine, Dressed in luxury and night. Saints were hunted, songs were burned, Faith was priced in blood and pain— But the faithful never learned How to bow to lesser names. --- [BREAK] They conquered… Not by sword.... But by witness. --- [CHORUS] Worthy is the Lamb who came, Worthy is the Lamb who reigns! Though the earth resists His justice, Truth ignites in righteous flame. Let the beast and throne collapse, Let the false lights all be gone— Every knee will learn the song Of the Lamb who overcomes. --- [BRIDGE] Then I saw the sky roll back, Tears undone, the curse erased. No more night, no more grave, No more longing left to face. God with man, the wound made whole, Every breath a sacred vow— The end became the opening, Eternity is now. --- [FINAL CHORUS] Holy, holy, holy is the One Who was, and is, and comes again! Death is drowned in endless life, The grave has lost, the Lamb has won. New heaven, new earth arise, Hope rebuilt from holy fire— All things bow, all things sing: Love enthroned forever reigns! --- [OUTRO] Amen… Come quickly.
