Sea of Bronze, Throne of Light

Lyrics

Verse 1 In the garden where the rivers ran, The voice of God walked with man, Tree of life and living stream, Morning light and endless peace. But the serpent whispered through the leaves, And dust returned to what it seized, The gates were closed, the sword was flame, Yet still the Father called our name. Pre-Chorus Through every age, Through every fall, A thread of mercy Runs through it all. Chorus From the sea of bronze To the throne of light, From the blood of lambs To the slain Lamb’s life, Every shadow pointed on To the Holy One. The priest stood near, The veil stood wide, The King was coming All the while. Verse 2 Through the waters Israel came, Led by fire, called by name, “Eagle wings have carried you, Be a kingdom holy and true.” Then the mountain shook with flame, God inscribed His covenant name, On their hands and on their hearts, A holy nation set apart. Pre-Chorus Yet golden calves And towers rose, The human heart Still chose its own. Chorus From the sea of bronze To the throne of light, From the blood of lambs To the slain Lamb’s life, Every shadow pointed on To the Holy One. The priest stood near, The veil stood wide, The King was coming All the while. Bridge Ten lampstands burning, Like Eden’s tree, Pomegranates hanging, Life’s mystery. Twelve oxen bearing The waters high, North and south, East and west they cried: “The Lord reigns over land and sea, Chaos bends beneath His feet.” But gold kept gathering, Six-six-six, And Babylon whispered, “Build with this.” Verse 3 Then came Christ with wounded hands, Greater than the temple stands, Living water, bread and vine, Heaven touching earth in time. Not a priest beside the sea, But the Priest eternally, Not a shadow, not a sign, But the substance divine. Final Chorus Now the sea is glass before the throne, And the saints are not alone, A kingdom of priests, A holy bride, With God’s own law written inside. No veil remains, No night survives, The Lamb Himself becomes the light. From Eden’s stream To Zion’s height, The story ends In endless light. Outro The altar pointed. The sea proclaimed. The priest foretold. The Lamb remained. And every shadow, Every sign, Was leading to the throne divine.
