Christ the True and Better

[Verse 1]
Christ the true and better Adam
Son of God and Son of man
Who, when tempted in the garden
Never yielded, never sinned
He who makes the many righteous
Brings us back to life again
Dying, He reversed the curse
Then rising, crushed the serpent’s head

[Verse 2]
Christ the true and better Isaac
Humble son of sacrifice
Who would climb the fearful mountain
There to offer up His life
Laid with faith upon the altar
Father's joy and only son
There salvation was provided
Oh what full and boundless love

[Chorus]
Amen, Amen
From beginning to end
Christ the story, His the glory
Alleluia, Amen

[Verse 3]
Christ the true and better Moses
Called to lead a people home
Standing bold to earthly powers
God's great glory to be known
With his arms stretched wide to Heaven
See the waters part in two
See the veil is torn forever
Cleansed with blood we pass now through

[Chorus]
Amen, Amen
From beginning to end
Christ the story, His the glory
Alleluia, Amen

[Verse 4]
Christ the true and better David
Lowly shepherd, mighty King
He the champion in the battle
Where, oh, death, is now thy sting?
In our place He bled and conquered
Crown Him Lord of majesty
His shall be the throne forever
We shall e’er His people be

[Chorus]
Amen, Amen
From beginning to end
Christ the story, His the glory
Alleluia, Amen
Amen, Amen
From beginning to end
Christ the story, His the glory
Alleluia, Amen

[Outro]
Alleluia, Amen
