🎵 “The First Seal Is Broken” Sheryl Clyde / Thunderbird

{I never put a date in my visions as I am never given one for it says we will not know the day or the hour] [Verse 1 – The Taking Up] I was caught away in the Spirit, no warning, no sound Suddenly standing on crystal before the Throne The air was alive with fire and with mercy And the Lamb who was slain was the only One found [Pre-Chorus – The Silence] Every creature held its breath The elders bowed low No one in heaven or earth could reach for the scroll Till the Lion stepped forward, still bearing the scars And the angels cried “Worthy!” as the thunder rolled [Chorus] The first seal is broken Hear the thunder roar The Lamb has prevailed, He is opening the door White horse riding, crowned in deceit But the slaughtered King holds the scroll at His feet Tell them, tell them, the first seal is broken Tell them, tell them, the Rider is loosed Tell them, tell them, the Bride, come out of his bed For the true Lion roars and the false one is dead [Verse 2 – The Vision] He looked straight at me, eyes blazing like seven suns Voice like a thousand waters, yet tender as rain “Daughter of fire, go tell My beloved ones The first seal is broken, the rider rides again” Then He took the scroll from the Father’s right hand And the living creatures shouted “Holy!” once more With one motion of nail-scarred fingers The heavens shook and the seal hit the floor [Chorus] The first seal is broken Hear the thunder roar The Lamb has prevailed, He is opening the door White horse riding, crowned in deceit But the slaughtered King holds the scroll at His feet Tell them, tell them, the first seal is broken Tell them, tell them, the Rider is loosed Tell them, tell them, Bride, come out of his bed For the true Lion roars and the false one is dead [Bridge – Spoken over building storm] Revelation 5:5 – “The Lion of Judah has conquered…” Revelation 6:2 – “And behold, a white horse…” This is not His bed (you sang it) You are not for sale (you warned us) The counterfeit crown is shining But the slaughtered Lamb is reigning [Final Chorus – Full choir + children] The first seal is broken But the Lamb holds the scroll The Rider may conquer, but he’ll never take your soul Come out of the darkness, come out of the lie Run to the Bridegroom with the fire in your eyes Tell them, tell them, the first seal is broken Tell them, tell them, the Rider is loosed Tell them, tell them, Bride, come out of his bed The true Lion roars… and He says “You are Mine.” [Outro – Whispered over fading thunder] Revelation 5:9 – “Worthy are You… for You were slain…” I saw it. I heard it. The first seal is broken. And the Lamb still reigns.
