Our youth ministry used the lyrics to this song recently at a worship event. The song is entitled “He Is” by Aaron Jeoffries and it articulates the activity of Christ throughout the Bible. I wanted to archive it here in light of our yearlong study of The Story:

In Genesis, He’s the breath of life

In Exodus, the Passover Lamb

In Leviticus, He’s our High Priest

Numbers, the fire by night

Deuteronomy, He’s Moses’ voice

In Joshua, He is salvation’s choice

Judges, He’s the giver of the law

In Ruth, the kinsman-redeemer

First and Second Samuel, our trusted prophet

In Kings and Chronicles, He’s sovereign

 

Ezra, true and faithful scribe

Nehemiah, He’s the rebuilder of broken walls and lives

In Esther, He’s Mordecai’s courage

In Job, the timeless redeemer

In Psalms, He is our morning song

 

In Proverbs, wisdom’s cry

Ecclesiastes, the time and season

In the Song of Solomon, He is the lover’s dream

 

In Isaiah, He’s Prince of Peace

Jeremiah, the weeping prophet

In Lamentations, the cry for Israel

Ezekiel, He’s the call from sin

In Daniel, the stranger in the fire

In Hosea, He is forever faithful

 

In Joel, He’s the Spirit’s power

In Amos, the arms that carry us

In Obadiah, He’s the Lord our Savior

In Jonah, He’s the great missionary

 

In Micah, the promise of peace

In Nahum, He is our strength and our shield

In Habakkuk and Zephaniah, He’s pleading for revival

In Haggai, He restores a lost heritage

In Zechariah, He’s our fountain

In Malachi, He is the son of righteousness rising with healing in His wings.

 

In Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John He is God, Man, Messiah

In Acts, He is fire from heaven

In Romans, He’s the grace of God

In Corinthians, the power of love

In Galatians, He is freedom from the curse of sin

 

Ephesians, our glorious treasure

Philippians, the servants heart

In Colossians, He’s the Godhead Trinity

Thessalonians, our coming King

In Timothy, Titus, Philemon He’s our mediator and our faithful pastor

 

In Hebrews, the everlasting covenant

In James, the One who heals the sick

In Peter, He is our Shepherd

In John and Jude, He is faithfully coming for His bride

In the Revelation, He is King of Kings and Lord of Lords

 

The prince of peace

The Son of man

The Lamb of God

The great I AM

 

He’s the Alpha and Omega

Our God and our Savior

He is Jesus Christ the Lord

And when time is no more

He is…
