Judah's tale is messy and flawed
Yet "the scepter will not depart"
Through broken vows and reckless ways
Taymar's actions turned the page
In their soil God's plan was sown
"Until Shiloh comes" the Lion of Judah enthroned
Where man does fall God's glory will endure
"For the LORD will fulfill His purpose" for sure
From sinful roots to a mighty King
God's glory flows through everything
"Hark! the herald angels sang"
"Glory to the Son God gave"
From a line of sin to Christ's own birth
God still brings hope to all the earth
Behind the walls where fear held tight
An outcast's faith found grace that night
Rahab's scarlet thread displayed
"Your God is God" her faith portrayed
From shame to honor in God's plan
A thirtieth great-grandma to the Son of Man
When faith spoke from a desperate place
God's mercy met her face to face
From sinful roots to a mighty King
God's glory flows through everything
Hark! the herald angels sang"
"Glory to the Son God gave"
From a line of sin to Christ's own birth
God still brings hope to all the earth
A widow returned with Ruth in tow
"Your God is my God" her faith did show
In Boaz's fields Ruth gleaned with grace
Till he redeemed her in that place
From Moab's soil through Judah's line
God's plan continued to the divine
Through Ruth and Boaz God's grace would bring
A grandson named Jesse then David a King
From David's line God's promise displayed
"The King of Kings" born on Christmas Day
Hark! the herald angels sang"
"Glory to the Son God gave"
From a line of sin to Christ's own birth
God still brings hope to all the earth
Hark! the herald angels sang"
"Glory to the Son God gave"
From a line of sin to Christ's own birth
God still brings hope to all the earth
