Luke 3
Full Song Lyrics
Verse 1 — The Time and the Place
In Tiberius’ reign, the word came down
To Caesar, governor, priest, and crown
Yet God spoke not from marble halls
But to a voice in the wilderness call
John rose up by the Jordan’s side
With heaven’s fire and desert cry
Chorus — Prepare the Way
Prepare the way, make straight the road
The King is coming — lighten the load
Every valley raised, the proud brought low
All flesh will see what God will show
Verse 2 — A Call to Repent
“Turn back now, be washed and clean
Forgiveness flows where hearts are seen”
Crowds pressed in with urgent plea
“What then must we do?” earnestly
He answered rich and poor and strong
“Share what you have, do no wrong
Be content, act just, fear God”
Fruit must grow where grace has trod
Chorus — Bear the Fruit
Bear the fruit that repentance brings
Changed desires, surrendered things
Not words alone, but lives made new
Truth made flesh in what we do
Verse 3 — One Who Is Greater
They wondered if John could be the One
He shook his head — “My work is done
I wash with water — there’s more to come
Fire and Spirit in God’s own Son
Wheat gathered in, the chaff burned through
He comes to finish what God will do”
Verse 4 — The Baptism
Jesus came where the people stood
Counted with sinners — fully good
As He prayed, the heavens tore
The Spirit descended, peace outpoured
A voice declared what earth could hear
“You are My Son — My joy, My dear”
Chorus — The Beloved Son
The Beloved Son, in whom I delight
Heaven rests on Him this night
Chosen, sealed before our eyes
The Kingdom breaks as the Spirit arrives
Verse 5 — The Line of Promise
From Joseph back through history
A woven line of humanity
Kings and shepherds, broken men
Saints and sinners — all of them
From David’s throne to Adam’s breath
The Son stands firm in human flesh
Outro
The road is set, the heavens open wide
The Kingdom comes — the King has arrived

Full Song Lyrics
Verse 1 — The Son of Man
When Jesus rose to teach the way
About thirty years had marked His days
They thought Him Joseph’s flesh and name
But heaven knew a deeper claim
Joseph, Eli, Matthat, Levi
Melchi, Jannai, Joseph cried
Mattathias, Amos, Nahum
Esli, Naggai — history moves on
Chorus — A Living Line
This is not a broken thread
It’s a living line through time and death
Every name, a carried breath
Till the Christ steps into flesh
Verse 2 — Through Exile and Return
Maath, Mattathias, Semein
Josech, Joda — loss and gain
Joanan, Rhesa, Zerubbabel
Shealtiel — where kingdoms fell
Neri, Melchi, Addi, Cosam
Elmadam, Er — the line goes on
Joshua, Eliezer, Jorim
Matthat, Levi — promise forming
Chorus — God Remembers
Kings may fall and nations fade
But not one name is lost or erased
What God has sworn, He still maintains
The promise lives through joy and pain
Verse 3 — From David’s House
Simeon, Judah, Joseph, Jonam
Eliakim, Melea, Menna
Mattatha, Nathan, David’s son
A shepherd’s line — the chosen one
Jesse, Obed, Boaz, Ruth’s reward
Salmon, Nahshon — the faithful Lord
Amminadab, Perez, Judah
Jacob, Isaac — the oath secured
Bridge — The Covenant Root
Abraham, Terah, Nahor
Serug, Reu, Peleg, Eber
Shelah, Arphaxad, Shem
Noah walked with God again
Verse 4 — The First Breath
Lamech, Methuselah, Enoch walked
Jared, Mahalaleel, the faithful talked
Cainan, Enos, Seth — then one
Adam — formed by God alone
Final Chorus — Son of God
From dust to throne, from breath to blood
The Son of Man, the Son of God
Every step, the story trod
Till flesh revealed the heart of God
Outro
From Adam’s fall to heaven’s cry
“This is My Son” — the line draws nigh
