[Intro — spoken, low and dramatic] “But Aaron’s rod swallowed up their rods.” The divine over the diabolical. The spiritual over the natural. When God begins His work— nothing else can stand. [Verse 1] I lived for the dust beneath my feet, For the things that fade away. I chased the world and called it life, And spent my soul on yesterday. Then Truth came burning through my heart, And shattered what I thought I knew. The world grew dim, eternity burned bright— And Christ became my view. [Pre-Chorus] The hunger of my soul cried out, No earthly thing could satisfy. The Spirit raised a deeper cry: “Seek the Kingdom of God on high!” [Chorus] Aaron’s rod swallowed all the rods, God’s power conquers every foe. Christ alone, Christ above all, Every rival has to go. My sin, my pride, my empty trust— Consumed beneath the crimson flood. If Christ be anything, He must be everything— Aaron’s rod swallowed all the rods. [Verse 2] I trusted once in what I'd done, In prayers and works and borrowed pride. I thought my goodness made me clean, Until the cross stood by my side. Then every boast became as dust, My righteousness was stripped away. I found no rock beneath my feet But Jesus Christ that day. [Pre-Chorus] No confidence in flesh remains, No other name can save. The Lamb who bore the sinner's curse Alone has power to save. [Chorus] Aaron’s rod swallowed all the rods, God’s power conquers every foe. Christ alone, Christ above all, Every rival has to go. My sin, my pride, my empty trust— Consumed beneath the crimson flood. If Christ be anything, He must be everything— Aaron’s rod swallowed all the rods. [Verse 3] Then Satan brought my former sins, Like serpents at my feet. Their poison fangs, their ancient shame, Their accusations deep. But there upon the wounded Lamb, I saw a greater grace. The blood of Jesus Christ, God's Son, Has washed my sins away. [Bridge — building] What can stand before the cross? What can stand before the King? Death must bow! Hell must bow! Every counterfeit must flee! Self must bow! Fear must bow! Pride must lose its throne! Jesus Christ and Jesus Christ alone— Jesus Christ alone! [Breakdown — whispered, then rising] If Christ be anything— He must be everything. If He deserves our love— He deserves it all. Our hearts. Our lives. Our future. Our eternity. Jesus only. [Final Chorus — massive] Aaron’s rod swallowed all the rods, God’s power conquers every foe. Christ alone, Christ above all, Every rival has to go. My sin, my pride, my empty trust— Consumed beneath the crimson flood. If Christ be anything, He must be everything— Aaron’s rod swallowed all the rods! [Finale] Let Christ arise within us! Let every lesser master fall! Let the Spirit reign forever! Let Jesus be our all in all! Aaron’s rod! Swallowed all the rods! Christ alone! Christ above all! Jesus only! Jesus everything! [Outro — spoken] The service of Christ is perfect freedom. Let Him rule. Let Him reign. And let every rival be swallowed up.
