THE SUN OF RIGHTEOUSNESS
(In the Shadow of Our Death)


Fire divider for The Sun of Righteousness


We know from the Bible that
The origin of sin is a mystery;
Its eradication from the world
Would be a glorious victory.


          The Sun of Righteousness


Adam and Eve disobeyed God,
The One, who gave them breath;
And ever since, man has lived
In the shadow of death.


          The Sun of Righteousness


When we suffer sickness,
Heartache, sorrow, and pain
Let us remember that
The Lord God is not to blame.


          The Sun of Righteousness


If Adam and Eve had obeyed
They would have lived forever
In the boon of immortal health
That came from their Creator.


          The Sun of Righteousness


Life and health were perpetuated
By partaking of the Tree of Life;
When sin came, the tree was removed
Else sin would be immortalized.


          The Sun of Righteousness


Though the pair committed sin
The Lord showed His love for souls
By providing the Lamb of God which
Taketh away the sin of the world.


          The Sun of Righteousness


This wonderful promise was given
In the Garden when the Lord God said
Though the Seed be hurt in the heel,
He would bruise the serpent's head.


          The Sun of Righteousness


Though we walk through the valley
Of the dark shadow of death;
There is no evil to fear
If we trust Him and have faith.


          The Sun of Righteousness


Mighty is He to deliver the poor
From the grasp of the oppressor;
He's the Lion from the tribe of Judah
As seen by John the Revelator.


          The Sun of Righteousness


There will be peace in the valley
When we walk with the King of kings;
He is the Sun of Righteousness
Who comes with healing in His wings.


          The Sun of Righteousness


Let's thank God for the shadows,
They tell us something so grand--
That shadows are there because
Our lives are filled with the Sun.
