His Life Already Foretold – v3

A people who were to be guided
anointed by the Father
chosen by God
led by the scriptures
the Word of the Lord

His life already foretold
seeking wise counsel
for the Messiah, the Savior
searching the prophets
for where He would be born

All of the scriptures
from the very beginning
words of joy, of protection
words of power and love
to heal our brokenness

All of Christ’s days
already written
from the beginning
the humble baby
the Lamb upon the throne
