Verse 1

Christ, the true and better Adam, Son of God and Son of man

Who, when tempted in the garden, never yielded, never sinned

He Who makes the many righteous, brings us back to life again

Dying, He reversed the curse, then rising, crushed the serpent's head


Verse 2

Christ, the true and better Isaac humble son of sacrifice

Who would climb the fearful mountain, there to offer up his life

Laid with faith upon the altar Father's joy and only son

There salvation was provided oh, what full and boundless love 


Chorus

Amen, amen from beginning to end

Christ the story His the glory alleluia, amen


Verse 3

Christ, the true and better Moses, called to lead a people home

Standing bold to earthly powers, God's great glory to be known

With His arms stretched wide to heaven, see the waters part in two

See the veil is torn forever, cleansed with blood we pass now through


Verse 4

Christ, the true and better David lowly shepherd, mighty King

He the champion in the battle, where, o death, is now thy sting

In our place He bled and conquered, crown Him Lord of Majesty

He shall be the throne forever we shall e're His people be
