That all people on earth would be blessed by the birth
Of a child in remote Bethlehem
That the nations of men would discover through Him
A great blessing long promised to them:
It can not be denied this was all prophesied
In His Word since the time of the fall;
Israel were to look for the truths in 'The Book'—
They were told God would fulfil them all.

His own people alas as the decades went past
Set their minds on the concepts of man;
In their hearts they had strayed from the promises made;
They’d forgotten why Israel began.
When God chose them, His own, they were meant to make known
All His truth and His plan for mankind—
Only Israel knew the one God who is true—
All the rest of the nations were blind.

Not because of their worth was the nation brought forth
But because of God’s mercy and grace;
They were part of His plan—the redemption of man—
The great hope of the whole human race.
In the midst of their land there was laid by God’s hand
A foundation Stone perfect and sure—
The Messiah to come Who was Israel’s Son—
Jesus Christ, the sinless and pure.

We now live in the age when the prophetic page
Is being turned at a much faster rate;
Israel’s back in the land—Is this God’s Sovereign hand?
Is the Son soon to enter the gate?
Are alignments being formed as the Scriptures have warned?
Is apostasy taking control?
It’s high time that you look in the depths of 'The Book'
For within it the truth is foretold.

The smart scoffer appears with his ‘millions of years’
To refute what God’s Word has declared—
Haughty men contradict—God alone can predict—
He will finish the things He’s prepared.
He who tells what’s to come is the Almighty One--
Who is present, and future and past!
Put your faith in His Word, be strong, undeterred—
Trust in Him, He’s the First and the Last!
