🎶 Song 127 – Rebecca’s Faithful Love

Paper 127 – The Adolescent Years 🎶 Song: Rebecca’s Faithful Love (Verse 1 – Family Leadership) At fifteen years he bore the weight, The household’s head, the family’s fate. James was trained to lead with care, Miriam’s hands the home would bear. (Verse 2 – Education and Growth) Joseph, Simon learned the trade, In carpentry their skills were made. Martha, Ruth with daily bread, Each child a role, the home was fed. (Bridge – Positive Teaching) He taught them good, not fear of wrong, A gentle guide, his voice was strong. Consensus ruled, the home was fair, A father’s love beyond compare. (Verse 3 – Political Refusal) The Zealots called, the nation stirred, But Jesus spoke a higher word. “No earthly bond, no sword of strife, My Father’s will defines my life.” (Verse 4 – The Loss of Amos) The youngest brother’s life grew dim, The family mourned, they wept for him. Yet Jesus smiled through grief and pain, Hope and courage would remain. (Verse 5 – Sacrifice and Care) He sold his harp, his joy, his song, To send Jude forth, to make him strong. Each sacrifice, each tender deed, Revealed the love the world would need. (Bridge – Rebecca’s Love) Rebecca’s eyes were filled with flame, She longed to bear his sacred name. Her heart was pure, her love sincere, Yet destiny drew him elsewhere near. (Verse 6 – The Refusal) He spoke with kindness, calm and true, “My Father’s work I must pursue. No earthly bond can hold me fast, The kingdom’s call will come at last.” (Verse 7 – Rebecca’s Choice) She turned away from other hands, Denied the vows of earthly plans. Through all her years she kept her vow, For Jesus’ love, her heart and brow. (Chorus – Rebecca’s Faith) Through human love her heart was tried, Yet heaven’s path he could not hide. Rebecca wept, her dream undone, But still believed in God’s own Son. (Outro – Eternal Witness) She kept her vow through all her years, Her faithful love, her silent tears. At Calvary’s cross she stood that day, Rebecca’s faith would never sway.
