Prophet, Priest, And King

One day as Jesus walked the land
He saw a man with tax books in hand
Matthew sat collecting the toll
When Jesus called stirring his soul
"Follow me" the Savior said
And in that moment Matthew's dread
Turned to hope as he arose
To follow where the Master goes

From tax collector to apostle he turned
In Jesus' light his heart burned
Matthew answered the Savior's call
Becoming one of the chosen all

In Matthew's Gospel the story starts
Revealing Jesus The Christ in all his aspects
Prophet priest and king combined
In him God's love forever shines

Matthew's Gospel a sacred scroll
In Jesus the ultimate goal
Prophet priest and king combined
In him our salvation defined

Through Matthew's lens the truth unravels
In Jesus our prophet-priest-king of kings
A bridge between the old and new
In him all things are made anew

A priestly heart with words divine
His teachings lead his grace aligns
A prophet's voice with kingly might
In him all darkness turns to light
Matthew's Gospel a sacred scroll

Matthew's Gospel a sacred scroll
Revealing Jesus The Christ in all his aspects
Prophet priest and king combined
In him God's love forever shines

Matthew's Gospel a sacred scroll
In Jesus the ultimate goal
Prophet priest and king combined
In him our salvation defined

Through Matthew's lens the truth unravels
In Jesus our prophet-priest-king of kings
A bridge between the old and new
In him all things are made anew

He speaks of love of mercy's call
As priest he lifts us when we fall
As prophet truth in every word
As king his rule has stirred our souls

Matthew's Gospel a sacred scroll
In Jesus the ultimate goal
Prophet priest and king combined
In him our salvation defined

So let us heed the tale embrace the truth
In Jesus our prophet-priest-king of kings
For in his life our hope is found
In him our hearts forever bound
