EVERY GENERATION LIVES IN ME (BALLADS OF THE REVELATION)
I am the little man in the tree
I am the whore You showed mercy
I am the woman at the well
I am David the day after he fell
I am Nicodemus in the night
I am the blind man, groping for the light
I am Pilate, asking what is truth
I am a thief, bleeding out beside you
I am because You are
I am Adam, after the curse was spoken
I am Eve, believing it will be broken
I am brother Cain, after slaying Abel
I am Mephibosheth, reclining at Your table
I am Jacob, bartering a birthright
I am a mighty man, for the King I live to fight
I am Simon, sifted like wheat
I am Daniel, yearning for the final week
I am because You are
I am Moses, in flight before Pharaoh's army
I am Gomer, bought with shekels and barley
I am Legion, roaming among the graves
I am Hagar, commanded to walk away
I am the prodigal, returning from afar
I am Mary, with a broken alabaster jar
I am blind Bartimeaus
I am walking on the road to Emmaus
I am because You are
I am Noah, drunk and covered up by my sons
I am Jonah, heading west and on the run
I am Rahab with scarlet in my window
I am the Shulamite, I found you, I'll never let you go
I am Jairus pleading for my daughter
I am Abraham with a son who's marked for slaughter
I am Lazarus rising from the dead
I am John the Beloved and I miss my best Friend
I am because You are
Every generation lives in me
Every generation lives in me
Every generation lives in me
I am the Bride made ready
