Triplex (Beat by Chrys Jones)

"Thus sayeth the Lord" was proclaimed forth from the vocal cords
This was the way the prophets of old spoke for the Lord
This was the method preferred to convey His views
When His people acted reckless He'd step in with heinous news
About the judgment He'd bring in view of their sin
But though they'd come back to Him He knew they'd do it again
In chapter 18, vs 18 of Deuteronomy
You read about the one to come the prophets are modeling
This is the one that is known as Christ and Messiah
His words came from the throne of heaven He's no liar
Flip through the Scripts His message is so divine
Chapter 12 in the Gospel of John, vs 49
He did more than carpentry for a job
He held the office of a prophet of God
And His work now preserved in his church isn't stopping
So let's spread the words of Jesus the Prophet

Shaking and trembling with fear they would enter
The most holy place once a year to represent us
Cause there never was a priest that wasn't in need of atonement
But Jesus never needed interceding for His own sin
So in this regard the work that He performed was perfect
Cause no other priest's work has served an eternal purpose
The flawless execution of his job's description
Was when He offered up the Lamb of God at crucifixion
The perfect offering for sin, once for all
Was a one time deal but He's still working hard
He's interceding on behalf of the saints
The accusers is trying to condemn us and blemish us but he can't
We have an advocate actively mediating
Still after the fact He didn't just happen to bleed and save us
His work is accurate, packed with divine feats
He's just so immaculate Jesus the High Priest

From the wisdom of Solomon to the mighty king David
There's never been one among them whose name will reign greater
Than King Jesus the King of the Jews, as He was accused
They pinned Him, beat up and bruised up on the cruz
Yet His reign is infinite never knowing a limit
The divine expression of omnipotence with no gimmicks
He rules over all creation for ever
There's never been a king who reigns better
As a defender of His people none has ever been His equal
As a conquering lion devouring He defeats foes
He offers protection and blessings in His kingdom
When life's trials test us He steps in and He wins one
He captures hearts too, woos and subdues us
Stamps us like tattoos, our acts prove He rules us
We keep His law motivated by His love
Our Prophet, Priest, and King who's reigning from above
Jesus
