We are the Hebrews! Praise the Lord

We are the Hebrews! Praise the Lord!
We’re from the other side.
Throughout our hist’ry we have passed
Through rivers deep and wide.

Old Noah’s age was so corrupt,
In deep depravity;
So Noah passed across the flood—
That separating sea.

Then Abraham was called apart,
For Godto take a stand;
So through the river he was led
Into a new, good land.

The Israelites in bondage were
To Pharaoh’s choking hand.
The God of Hebrews made a way
For them to leave that land.

Then wand’ring through the wilderness,
The land they could not find;
Till through the Jordan they did pass
To leave themselves behind.

But then religion conquered all,
So John the Baptist came
And buried all beneath that flood.
The Jews were not the same.

Now in the church life, we have left
The world, religion too;
Now we’re the river-crossing ones,
Enjoying Christ so new!

O Lord, You’ve taken us across
The fiery sea of glass,
With all the worldly things beneath;
Across the sea we’ve passed.
