John 7
Full Song Lyrics
Verse 1 — Not Yet His Time
His brothers said, “Go show Your hand
Let Your works be seen in the land
No one hides who wants to be known
Go to the feast — make Yourself shown”
He said, “My time has not yet come
The world hates Me — not you, but One
I go not yet — the hour’s still near”
So they went on — He lingered here
Verse 2 — Quiet Arrival
Midway through the feast He came
Not with noise — not seeking fame
Teaching truth where crowds were stirred
They said, “How does He know these words?”
He said, “My teaching’s not My own
It comes from God — His truth alone
Who seeks His will will surely see
If these words are truly Me”
Chorus — Sent From God
I did not come on My command
But from the One who formed the land
You know My name, My earthly place
But not the God who sent Me here
Verse 3 — Judgment and Law
They sought to seize Him where He stood
Yet no one moved — they never could
He said, “I healed — and you were stirred
But Moses’ law you’ve never heard
You circumcise upon the day
Yet rage when mercy comes My way
Do not judge by what you see
Judge with truth — judge righteously”
Verse 4 — Divided Voices
Some said, “This Man must be the Christ”
Some said, “No prophet comes like this
From Galilee?” — their doubts rang loud
Confusion split the listening crowd
They tried again to take Him then
But fear held back the hands of men
Chorus — Divided Hearts
Some believe — some turn away
Some see light — some love the gray
The truth stands clear — yet still divides
What’s done in hearts can’t be disguised
Verse 5 — Officers Return
The guards came back with empty hands
“Why didn’t you bring Him?” — their command
They said, “No man has ever spoke
Like Him” — the council nearly broke
“Are you deceived like them?” they cried
“Does truth come from the poor outside?”
Verse 6 — A Lonely Voice
Nicodemus stood alone
“Does our law condemn unknown?
Before we hear — before we see?”
They mocked his plea angrily
“Are you from Galilee as well?
Search the words — no prophet fell”
Verse 7 — The Final Day
On the feast’s last, greatest cry
Jesus stood and lifted high:
“If anyone is thirsty still
Let him come — and drink his fill
Whoever trusts in what I say
From his heart will flow one day
Rivers born of living grace”
Final Chorus — Living Water
Come and drink — the promise stands
Life poured out by Spirit’s hand
Not yet given — but soon to be
When glory comes through Calvary
Outro
They went each one to his own place
The Light remained — full still of grace
