(Verse 1) God spoke thunder from the mountain high, Fire in the heavens, lightning in the sky. Tablets carved in stone by His mighty hand, A holy covenant for a chosen land. Sacrifices rising with the morning sun, Priests in the temple till the day was done. The law showed the sinner he's so far gone, Staring us down with all we've done wrong. (Pre-Chorus) Every lamb that bled was pointing down the road, To a greater promise and a lighter load. (Chorus) The first covenant came through Moses and the law, Showing us the holiness and glory of God. But the second covenant came through Calvary's tree, Where Jesus shed His blood to set the captives free. From stone to the heart, from shadow to the Son, From sacrifices daily to the finished One. Hallelujah, mercy came and changed my destiny, Written first in stone, then in blood for me. (Verse 2) The prophets kept on calling through the passing years, "There's a better promise coming, dry your tears." A King from David's line, a servant and a lamb, The great I AM fulfilling every righteous plan. Nails in His hands and a spear in His side, The spotless sacrifice who willingly died. When He rose in victory, death was overthrown, And the covenant of grace was forever known. (Pre-Chorus) No more veil between us, no more debt to pay, The perfect Lamb of God has made the way. (Chorus) The first covenant came through Moses and the law, Showing us the holiness and glory of God. But the second covenant came through Calvary's tree, Where Jesus shed His blood to set the captives free. From stone to the heart, from shadow to the Son, From sacrifices daily to the finished One. Hallelujah, mercy came and changed my destiny, Written first in stone, then in blood for me. Bridge Not abolishing the promise, but fulfilling every word, Every page of Scripture echoes what we've heard. The law was our teacher till the Savior came, Now we're justified by faith in His holy name. Jew and Gentile gathered at the mercy seat, By the grace of Christ alone our redemption is complete. [Guitar and Banjo Solo] (Final Chorus) The first covenant prepared the way for God's great plan, The second covenant fulfilled it through the Son of Man. No more striving for a righteousness I cannot earn, Through the blood of Jesus Christ I've been reborn. From stone to the heart, from shadow to the Son, From sacrifices daily to the finished One. Hallelujah, mercy came and changed eternity, Written first in stone, then in blood for me. (Outro) Yeah, the mountain shook and the temple curtain fell, Grace came running where the guilty used to dwell. The old pointed forward, the new has overcome, One God, one redemption, one victorious Son.
