12 - Neal Morse

Surrounding God’s heaven

Same as the tribes

The twelve tribes of Israel (Gen 49:28)

Each hold a sign (Num 2:2)

Surrounding God’s presence

Blurring the lines (Heb 9:24)

'tween here and his residence

Twelve makes a day

Twelve tones in music

Twelve months a year

Do you think it’s an accident?

Christ as the Sun (Heb 1:3)

Pictures the Father

Sorrounded by twelve (Mat 23:8)

That he calls his brothers

Twelve precious stones (Ex 39:7)

Upon the Priests Ephod

Twelve were the sons (Gen 35:22)

The twelve sons of Jacob

Twelve oxen held (2 Chr 4:4,5)

In Solomon’s temple

Three thousand baths

To cleanse all the Levites

Christ built his church (Eph 2:20)

Upon twelve apostles

And three thousand souls (Acts 2:41)

Were added at Pentecost

Christ built His church

Upon twelve apostles

And three thousand souls

Were added at Pentecost

And then after all

With our backs against the wall

We seek the temple of the living God

We seek the temple of the living God
