BTTT on the Feast of the Transfiguration of the Lord, August 6, 2005!
Son of the Living God
You're the Sun of Justice
The Prince of Peace
You're the Blossom of Jesse's rod
You're the King whose Kingdom will never cease
You're the Son of the Living God.
Chorus) Jesus Christ, to you we give
All honor, praise and laud.
You're the Source and the Summit of all that live
You're the Son of the Living God.
In the fullness of time, when you came to earth
Our salvation was begun
For at Bethlehem You had your birth,
You're the Virgin's only Son.
(Chorus)
When Elijah and Moses beheld your face
Their wonder no tongue could tell:
The Redeemer of all the human race,
The Messiah of Israel.
(Chorus)
If Confucius and Buddha could grasp Your Law
If your wisdom could reach Lao-Tsu,
"My Lord and my God" they would say with awe,
Giving worship to only You.
(Chorus)

On a different note, it has always struck me that August 6 should be both Transfiguration and Hiroshima day. I glimpse of the divine, a glimpse of the demonic. Lord, have mercy (x 100,000)
