Redemption's Thread

Tracks

Grace and peace to you
From the Lord Jesus Christ
For in Him we are chosen
Before sin’s dark device

In the beginning
He created the heavens and earth
The earth was formless, void
Yet He saw our worth

A spirit hovered
Over waters deep and wide
He saw the cost of creatures
Who would wander far from His side

He created us knowing
He’d redeem us from the fall
He formed us with the knowledge
In Christ He’d save us all

Then God said
Let us make man in our likeness
To rule with dominion
And walking uprightness

So God created man
Male and female, He made both
In God’s image
With His purpose and oath

He created us knowing
He’d redeem us from the fall
He formed us with the knowledge
In Christ He’d save us all

God blessed them saying
Be fruitful and multiply
Fill the earth and subdue it
A joyful task to apply

God saw all He had made
And behold it was good
A plan fulfilled in Christ
Through Him many would

He created us knowing
He’d redeem us from the fall
He formed us with the knowledge
In Christ He’d save us all

The Lord’s hand isn’t short, it can save
And His ear isn’t dull, He hears when you pray
But your sins have built a wall from God
You’ve turned away to your own path

Come back, O people, return to your King
Leave the empty wells behind
Lift your eyes, let mercy sing
Come back to the living spring

Because of your sins, His face is hidden
Your hands are stained with blood
Your lips spoke lies, your tongue whispers wickedness
Repentance calls, for healing to begin

Come back, O people, return to your King
Leave the empty wells behind
Lift your eyes, let mercy sing
Come back to the living spring

 

Then God said
Let us make man in our likeness
To rule with dominion
And walking uprightness

Nations hold their gods, though they’re not real
But My people swapped their glory for what can’t heal
Be appalled, O heavens, be shattered and still
For they chose empty idols, forsaking My will

Come back, O people, return to your King
Leave the empty wells behind
Lift your eyes, let mercy sing
Come back to the living spring

They’ve left Me, the spring of life
And made wells that hold nothing
They’ve traded the fountain for broken cisterns
Come back to the source, where true life begins

As a young man marries his bride
So your sons will stand by your side
As a groom rejoices over his bride
So God will rejoice with pride

Come back, O people, find your way home
In the arms of your Savior, you’re never alone

Jesus of Nazareth — my God,
With wonders and signs, His path was trod,
Yet as planned, He was crucified,
But He rose ’cause, death couldn’t hold ’em inside.

Fear not, I am the First, the Last,
The Living One, my death is past,
I hold the keys to death’s dark door,
Behold, I live forevermore.

God raised Him up, he was right,
Apostles testify, He’s in the light,
Now exalted high, at God’s right hand,
He’s glorified, as was planned.

 

Fear not, I am the First, the Last,
The Living One, my death is past,
I hold the keys to death’s dark door,
Behold, I live forevermore.

The Lord said to my Lord, ‘Sit by My side,
Till enemies fall, by You they’ll abide,
You crucified, but he glorified,
Is Lord and Messiah, by God testified.’

Fear not, I am the First, the Last,
The Living One, my death is past,
I hold the keys to death’s dark door,
Behold, I live forevermore.

Fear not, I am the First, the Last,
The Living One, my death is past,
I hold the keys to death’s dark door,
Behold, I live forevermore.

Sin isn’t just the wrongs we’ve done
It’s the darkness where our hearts begun
Our Kinsman Redeemer, paid it in full
The ransom for a love so beautiful

The garden was bright with a lie in the air
A whisper that twisted the truth with a dare
And they saw with new eyes, but the light was a loss
For they traded their life for a for-shadowed cross

With spirits torn, we walked in the dust
Our hearts enslaved by anger and lust
Lead by Cain’s cruel hand
We twisted every good in the land

Noah built as the years rolled by
A warning for all, but they chose to defy
And the waters rose, yet grace was found
In a rainbow’s arc and the soft, dry ground

He called out to Abram, Look to the sky
Through your seed, salvation will arise
But even God’s chosen strayed and fell
Wandering their way to the gates of hell

 

Sin isn’t just the wrongs we’ve done
It’s the darkness where our hearts begun
Our Kinsman Redeemer, paid it in full
The ransom for a love so beautiful

Israel, a nation with pride in its veins
Forgot that the law was a means, not chains
They counted steps and burdened the heart
Waiting for a Messiah to tear Rome apart

When He came, it wasn’t for war
But to heal the breach, to open the door
To silence sin, to conquer death
To breathe new life with His final breath

The wrath of God upon Him laid
As He bore the curse, the debt was paid
In Him, the promise forever sealed
In Him, the bride’s wounds fully healed

And now we stand, the chosen ones
Called by grace through the work of the Son
To carry His word to the ends of the earth
To raise up disciples and proclaim new birth
In the midst of corruption, in the face of death
He waits with patience, holding His breath
For the final soul to answer His call
Will you take up the charge and give Him your all

He calls out, will you heed His voice
In the depths of your heart, you have a choice
To turn from the dark and embrace His light
To walk in truth, to live what’s right
The door is open, the price is paid
Will you step in and not be afraid
For the King awaits with arms open wide,
Will you join His bride, and be by His side

Man seeks after wisdom, power, and fame
Chasing wealth, comfort, and a lasting name
But like grass that blooms, then withers away
What truly matters, what’s worth laying claim

Man is like grass, we rise, bloom, fade, and fall
In life’s chaos, we lose sight of it all
Our eyes grow dim, and our hearts led astray
Only one thing endures—the bond we obey

Walk in a manner worthy of your call
With humility, gentleness, patience in all
Bear with each other, in love, stand as one
For one body, one Spirit, one hope through the Son

 

Man is like grass, we rise, bloom, fade, and fall
In life’s chaos, we lose sight of it all
Our eyes grow dim, and our hearts led astray
Only one thing endures—the bond we obey

He’s given gifts of nature, to teach and to guide
Gifts of power, His Spirit’s strength inside
He’s given gifts of blessing, through hands and hearts that serve
Like Christ we become, as the Spirit grows and preserves

Man is like grass, we rise, bloom, fade, and fall
In life’s chaos, we lose sight of it all
Our eyes grow dim, and our hearts led astray
Only one thing endures—the bond we obey

Jesus provides, through the Spirit’s hand
Gifts that unite us, as He has planned
In unity of faith, and knowledge of the Son
We grow into manhood, in Christ we become one
The things of the flesh wither, fade, and die
But in Him, we find the truth that satisfies

On heaven’s throne, in His right hand
He holds the plan for the future of man
“Who is worthy to break the seal?”
Cries the mighty angel in appeal

Seven seals and seven trumpets
Seven bowls leading to judgment
Worthy is the Lamb

To receive power, wealth, and might
Wisdom, honor, glory, and blessing
Worthy is the Lamb

One by one, the seals are torn
Trumpets sound, the bowls are poured
Judgment on the world draws near
God’s great plan now made clear

 

 

 

Seven seals and seven trumpets
Seven bowls leading to judgment
Worthy is the Lamb

To receive power, wealth, and might
Wisdom, honor, glory, and blessing
Worthy is the Lamb

Lion of Judah, Lamb of God
He alone is worthy
Lion of Judah, Lamb of God
He alone is worthy

Seven seals and seven trumpets
Seven bowls leading to judgment
Worthy is the Lamb

To receive power, wealth, and might
Wisdom, honor, glory, and blessing
Worthy is the Lamb

Behold the Lamb of God, who takes away the sin of the world
The Spirit of the Lord will rest on Him
The Spirit of wisdom and understanding
The Spirit of counsel, strength, and might
The Spirit of knowledge and fear of the Lord

Why do the nations rage so wild
And the peoples plot in vain
Kings and rulers rise, conspiring
Against the Lord’s great name
They cry, “Let’s break the chains
And cast the cords aside
No longer will we be bound
No longer will we hide.”

But the One in heaven laughs
He holds them in disdain
He speaks in wrath, with fury
Announcing His domain:
“I have set my King on Zion
On my holy hill He reigns
You are my Son, my chosen one
Today your rule remains.”

The Lord declares His mighty word
“Ask, and it’s your own
The nations will be yours to rule
The earth, your royal throne
With iron rod, you’ll break them down
Like shattered clay they’ll fall
For you shall reign forever
As King above them all.”

But the One in heaven laughs
He holds them in disdain
He speaks in wrath, with fury
Announcing His domain:
“I have set my King on Zion
On My holy hill He reigns
You are my Son, my chosen
Today your rule remains.”

O kings, be wise, be warned
Serve the Lord in fear
Rejoice with trembling hearts
For the Son is drawing near
Kiss the Son, lest He be angry
And you perish in your pride
But blessed are those who seek refuge
In Him they shall abide

Blessed are those who seek refuge
In Him they shall abide

A Journey Through Redemption

Unveiling the Biblical Tapestry

This album follows the grand arc of redemptive history—from the dawn of creation through sin, suffering, resurrection, and eternal reign. Each track draws from specific biblical texts, giving voice to the Creator’s plan to redeem and restore all things through Christ. 

Creation, drawn from Genesis 1:1–2:3 and Ephesians 1:4, opens with God’s eternal plan: a Creator who made us with foreknowledge. “He formed us with the knowledge, in Christ He’d save us all.”

The Fallen, based on Isaiah 59:1–2, Jeremiah 2:11–13, and Hosea 14:1–2, laments the sin that separates us from God. Like broken cisterns, our idols can’t hold life. The call is clear: return to the living spring.

Suffering Servant, shaped by Isaiah 52:13–15 and Isaiah 53, honors the Messiah who bore our griefs and was crushed for our peace. Marred and misunderstood, He is the one through whom salvation rises. 

Resurrected Savior, drawn from Revelation 1:17–18, Acts 2:22–36, and Psalm 110:1, is a victorious anthem. Christ declares, “I am the Living One… behold, I live forevermore.” He is risen, exalted, and glorified.

Sin’s Death, built on Genesis 3, Romans 5:12–21, Isaiah 53, and Revelation 19:7–9, traces sin’s path and Christ’s redemption. From Eden to Calvary, it proclaims the cross where wrath was satisfied and new life began.

One In Christ, rooted in Ephesians 4:1–16 and Isaiah 40:6–8, exhorts the Church to unity and maturity. Though we fade like grass, the Spirit unites us into one body growing in love and truth.

Worthy is The Lamb, based on Revelation 5 and Isaiah 11:1–3, is a throne room anthem. Only Jesus can open the scroll. All heaven cries, “Worthy is the Lamb who was slain… to receive power and glory.”

Conquering King, drawn from Psalm 2 and Revelation 2:26–27, ends the album with authority. Though the nations rage, the Son reigns. “I have set My King on Zion.” Blessed are those who seek refuge in Him.
