Matthew 1 — “The Line of the Promise”
Full Song Lyrics
Verse 1 — The Line Begins
From Abraham the promise was spoken,
A seed for the world, a covenant token,
Isaac and Jacob, the lineage strong,
Judah’s line carries the Savior’s song.
Perez and Hezron, the story unfolds,
Through broken lives and faith made bold,
Generations rising, generations fall,
But God keeps His word through it all.
Chorus — Faithful Through Time
Every name, every line, every birth divine,
God was writing redemption through human time,
Through the broken, the lost, the weak, the strong,
He was building salvation all along.
From promise to prophecy, from past to now,
He kept every word, every sacred vow,
Through the ages, through the pain, through the climb—
The Messiah was coming on heaven’s time.
Verse 2 — Kings and Captivity
David the shepherd becomes the king,
Solomon’s throne, the temple’s glory sings,
But kingdoms fall and hearts grow cold,
Disobedience fractures the story once told.
Exile comes, the crown is gone,
Chains replace the royal song,
Yet even in dust, in loss, in shame,
God preserves the holy name.
Chorus — Faithful Through Time
Every name, every line, every birth divine,
God was writing redemption through human time,
Through the broken, the lost, the weak, the strong,
He was building salvation all along.
From promise to prophecy, from past to now,
He kept every word, every sacred vow,
Through the ages, through the pain, through the climb—
The Messiah was coming on heaven’s time.
Verse 3 — The Virgin Promise
Joseph the righteous, faithful and kind,
Faced a mystery no heart could define,
Mary was chosen by heaven’s decree,
To carry the hope of eternity.
An angel spoke, “Do not fear,
What’s conceived is holy, pure, and clear,
A Son will be born, Emmanuel’s name,
God with us in flesh He came.”
Bridge — Emmanuel
The Word made flesh, the holy Son,
Heaven and earth in Him become one,
Not born of power, pride, or throne,
But in humility, God made known.
Salvation’s cry in a newborn breath,
Hope has come to conquer death.
Final Chorus — God With Us
Every name, every line, every birth divine,
Led to the Savior of all mankind,
From Abraham’s tent to Bethlehem’s stall,
Jesus the answer, the hope of all.
Prophecy fulfilled, the light has come,
The work of redemption has begun,
Emmanuel, our victory won—
God with us, His only Son.
Outro
The promise fulfilled, the wait is done,
The kingdom begins with a newborn Son,
Matthew one declares the truth to us:
Jesus the Christ — Emmanuel
