Prophesies Fulfilled
(in verse)
Foretold by Law and Prophets,
To Adam and his wife –
A Savior would be coming
To bring God’s saving life.
(Gen 3:15; Is 35:4; 49:6)
(Mt 1:21; Acts 4:12; Lk 24:27)
The seed of Eve and Abram,
Of Judah, David, too.
From Bethlehem, through Egypt
In Galilee He grew.
(Gen 3:15; 22:15-18; 49:9-10; Mic 5:2; Hos 11:1)
(Gal 4:4-5; 3:16; Hb 7:14; Mt 1:1; 2:13-15)
His mother was a virgin,
And John preached that He’d come.
He was despised, rejected
By strangers and at home.
(Is 7:14; 40:3-5; Ps 69:8; Is 53:3)
(Mt 1:18-23; 3:1-3; Jn 1:10-11; 7:5; 19:15)
He healed the blind and palsied,
He cast the demons out,
He raised the dead like sleepers,
He made the speechless shout.
(Is 35:5-6; 53:4)
(Mt 8:16-17; 11:2-6; 14:14; Mk 7:37)
He spoke God’s Word with power
And yet with graciousness;
Through parables He taught them,
Preached truth and righteousness.
(Dt 18:18; Ps 45:2; 78:2; 40:9)
(Jn 3:34; Lk 4:22; Mt 13:34-35; Mk 10:1)
His friend at last betrayed Him
For thirty silver coins,
His captors all fell backward
Yet still their band rejoins.
(Ps 41:9; 40:14)
(Mt 26:21-23, 50; Jn 18:4-6)
His own disciples left Him,
All fled in fright and fear;
One followed at a distance,
Denied where Christ could hear.
(Zec 13:7; Ps 38:11; 69:20)
(Mt 26:31; Mk 14:50; Mt 26:58; Lk 22:59-62)
To words of false accusers
He gave not one reply.
He took our stripes though sinless –
For us God’s Son must die.
(Ps 35:11; 38:13-14; Is 53:7, 4-6, 11)
(Mt 26:59; Mk 15:3-5; Mt 27:26; 1 Pt 2:21-24; 1 Jn 3:5)
Upon a cross He’s lifted,
Between two sinners nailed,
In shame before all people,
With mocking scorn assailed.
(Num 21:9; Is 53:12; Ps 22:16; Dt 21:23; Ps 22:7-8)
(Jn 3:14-15; 12:32; Mk 15:27-28; Gal 3:13-14; Lk 23:35)
Our sins were laid upon Him,
The Father turned His face;
Sun hid in black of mourning
To hide His deep disgrace.
(Is 53:5, 6, 11-12; Ps 22:1; Is 50:3)
(Rm 5:6-8; 2 Cor 5:21; Mt 27:46; Lk 23:44-46)
At last He cried “It’s Finished!”
He bowed His head and died.
Bruised by sin’s fearful wages
Our Maker crucified.
(Ps 22:31; Gen 3:15; Is 53:5)
(Jn 19:30; Hb 2:14-15; 1 Cor 15:3-4)
His body then was buried
Within a borrowed tomb,
Wrapped well in costly spices
To face death’s final gloom.
(Is 53:9; Ps 45:8)
(Mt 27:57-60; Jn 19:39-40)
But death could never hold Him,
God will not let Him stay –
He rose, defeated Satan,
And sealed death’s might away.
(Ps 16:10; 89:27; Is 25:7-8)
(Acts 2:31-32; Col 1:18; 1 Jn 3:17; 2 Tim 1:10; 1 Cor 15:54-57)
Beginning back at Moses
Through all the Prophets, too,
He showed to His disciples
All they foretold He’d do.
(Lk 24:27; 44-47)
From Olive’s Mount ascending
He sat at God’s right hand
Until He comes to gather
His people to that land.
(Zech 14:4; Ps 110:1
(Acts 1:9-12; Mk 16:19; Hb 10:12-13)
Right now, He’s interceding
For those He calls His own;
He’s giving gifts to Christians
From heaven’s royal throne.
(Is 53:12; Is 40:11; Ps 68:18; Is 44:3)
(Hb 7:25; Jn 10:14; Eph 4:7-8; Jn 7:37-39; 16:7)
Someday He’ll come in power
To reign as King of kings;
Defeating those who hate Him,
Their just reward He brings.
(Ps 2:6; Zech 14:9; Is 24:21; 62:11)
(Lk 1:32-33; Rev 11:15; 17:14; 19:11, 19-21; 22:12)
Soon every knee will worship
And every tongue confess
That He is Lord of glory,
Of faithful righteousness.
(Is 45:23; Ps 24:7-10; Is 11:5)
(Phil 2:9-11; 1 Cor 3:8; Rev 19:11)
And all the Law and Prophets
Foretold will be fulfilled,
For Christ will have accomplished
All that His Father willed.
(Is 40:7-8)
(Heb 10:7; Mt 5:17-18; Jn 6:38-39)
