abraham and the gospel - timothy brindle lyrics

[verse 1: ian buchanan]
from all of eternity, god made a pactum
a covenant agreement to make the son a ransom
to die in the place of the dead
and to rise from death to raise alive all of the elect
two points, death and resurrection
promises proclaimed beforehand about the one who has descended
as the seed of eve, of abraham and david
to be proclaimed as the son of god raised from the grave his
loving grace and benefits communicated
through signs and types in the ot administration
from adam to abraham, from moses to david
the gospel was preached and proclaimed they were blessed and elated
and so now the thesis
the gospel’s not new to apostles ‘cause jesus
was present to bless his old covenant saints
one church, one covenant of grace, this is great!

[turntablism]

[verse 2: ian buchanan]
laid before abraham we see his son isaac
strapped to an altar to be sacrificed this
act of faith indeed this may surprise us
why did god tell him to murder and k!ll his prized gift?
his only son to whom belonged the promise
abraham considered that god could raise from death
his offspring indeed he did although we speak figuratively
it points us to a precious promise!
the death and resurrection of christ
communicated to this old covenant saint through signs, shadows and types
and the apostle paul speaks to us in galatians
he was blessed by this gospel and all the nations indeed would be blessed too
and through him the seed of the woman would rescue jews and gentiles too
that’s why i’m so hype to know that it’s all christ
who saves and preserves his whole church by his whole might

[turntablism]

[verse 3: ian buchanan]
we read in hebrews 6, to indeed convince
the heirs of the promise of god that jesus is
our steadfast anchor and hope of -ssurance
that christ the high priest intercedes for us
he swore an oath by himself to secure us
with no other name to swear by—this should floor us!
and he first made this clear to abraham
in the shadow of a risen son and a slain ram
and before abraham in genesis 22
stands the son of god to swear by himself
that through him he will bless dudes
peep the administrator, of the covenant of grace is our blessed savior
and most efficaciously and spiritually
christ communicates his benefits most visibly
once in types and signs now in the bread and wine
jesus, he feeds our faith by his love divine!

[outro: dr. camden bucey]
chapter vii
of god’s covenant with man
i. the distance between god and the creature is so great, that although reasonable creatures do owe obedience unto him as their creator, yet they could never have any fruition of him as their blessedness and reward, but by some voluntary condescension on god’s part, which he has pleased to express by way of covenant
ii. the first covenant made with man was a covenant of works, wherein life was promised to adam; and in him to his posterity, upon condition of perfect and personal obedience
iii. man, by his fall, having made himself incapable of life by that covenant, the lord was pleased to make a second, commonly called the covenant of grace; wherein he freely offers unto sinners life and salvation by jesus christ; requiring of them faith in him, that they may be saved, and promising to give unto all those that are ordained unto eternal life his holy spirit, to make them willing, and able to believe
iv. this covenant of grace is frequently set forth in scripture by the name of a testament, in reference to the death of jesus christ the testator, and to the everlasting inheritance, with all things belonging to it, therein bequeathed
v. this covenant was differently administered in the time of the law, and in the time of the gospel: under the law it was administered by promises, prophecies, sacrifices, circ-mcision, the paschal lamb, and other types and ordinances delivered to the people of the jews, all foresignifying christ to come; which were, for that time, sufficient and efficacious, through the operation of the spirit, to instruct and build up the elect in faith in the promised messiah, by whom they had full remission of sins, and eternal salvation; and is called the old testament
vi. under the gospel, when christ, the substance, was exhibited, the ordinances in which this covenant is dispensed are the preaching of the word, and the administration of the sacraments of baptism and the lord’s supper: which, though fewer in number, and administered with more simplicity, and less outward glory, yet, in them, it is held forth in more fullness, evidence, and spiritual efficacy, to all nations, both jews and gentiles; and is called the new testament. there are not therefore two covenants of grace, differing in substance, but one and the same, under various dispensations
