[Intro] Bring the measuring rod. Lay it straight. CALL THE WITNESS. OPEN THE RECORD. READ THE REVELATION. WHO IS REVEALED? JESUS CHRIST. [Verse 1] What did the blind man see? “Thou hast both seen him, and it is he that talketh with thee.” LORD, I BELIEVE. What does the ballerina read through her body? Pressure. Weight. Resistance. The ground beneath her feet. She puts her whole weight down— AND TRUSTS. [Pre-Chorus] Eyes— LOOK UNTO JESUS. Ears— HEAR HIS VOICE. Heart— RECEIVE HIS LOVE. Mind— THE MIND OF CHRIST. Spirit— BEAR WITNESS. Body— AGREE WITH THE AMEN. [Chorus] THE ROD IS IRON. THE ROCK DOESN'T MOVE. THE RECORD DOESN'T CHANGE. THE AMEN IS STILL THE AMEN. “Blessed are all they that put their trust in him.” PUT YOUR WHOLE WEIGHT ON HIS LOVE. [Verse 2] What is oil? FRESH OIL. Golden oil through the pipes. Not by might. Not by power. “but by my spirit, saith the LORD of hosts.” The flame burns. The dross comes off. The bones live. The body stands. STILL TRUSTING. [Break] Can two people agree and make a lie true? ASK PETER. “ye have agreed together to tempt the Spirit of the Lord” Agreement didn't move THE TRUTH. Peter fell too. But Peter was restored. TRUTH DIDN'T BEND. LOVE DIDN'T FAIL. THAT IS FANTASTIC LOVE. [Build] The measuring rod MEASURED. THE BIBLE GAVE US THE WITNESS. THE BIBLE GAVE US THE RECORD. THE BIBLE GAVE US THE REVELATION OF OUR GREAT GOD. “the witness of God is greater” “And this is the record” “this life is in his Son.” [Bridge] WHO RECEIVED THE ROD? “Thou art my Son” “Thou shalt break them with a rod of iron” Who rules the nations? Who is— “KING OF KINGS, AND LORD OF LORDS”? JESUS CHRIST. And the overcomer? “he shall rule them with a rod of iron” “even as I received of my Father.” RECEIVED. [Final Chorus] THE ROD IS IRON. THE WITNESS IS GREATER. THE RECORD STANDS. THE REVELATION IS OPEN. After the suffering— TRUST. After the shaking— TRUST. After the fire— TRUST. Eyes. Ears. Heart. Mind. Soul. Spirit. Body. PUT YOUR WHOLE WEIGHT ON HIS LOVE. The Rock does not move. The rod does not bend. His love does not fail. JESUS IS THE LORD
