ACTS – Stiffnecked Generation by Bro H

Verse 1 The God of glory appeared to Abraham our father Called him out to a land not his own Gave no inheritance, not even a footstep Yet promised a seed and a throne The patriarchs sold Joseph down into Egypt But God was with him, and gave him wisdom Raised him up over all of the kingdom Turned envy and evil to glory again Chorus You stiffnecked people, uncircumcised in ears and hearts You always resist the Holy Spirit Just as your fathers did, you also do You walk in the ways they inherited Verse 2 Moses was learned in the wisdom of Egypt Mighty in word and deed Seeing his brethren suffer wrong, he rose to defend them But they would not follow his lead “Who made you ruler and judge over us?” They pushed him away from their sight So he fled to the land of Midian Where God called him by a bush of burning light Verse 3 With our fathers was the Tent of Witness Set by the pattern He showed Given by God through Moses’ hand Where His presence would go Carried with Joshua into the nations When He drove them out before Given to us in the days of David A dwelling they sought for the Lord Verse 4 But Solomon built Him a house in the land Yet the Most High does not dwell In temples made by men’s hands As the prophet has spoken well “Heaven is My throne, the earth My footstool What house will you build for Me?” “All these things My hand has made” So declares the Majesty Bridge Which of the prophets did you not persecute? They spoke of the Righteous One The One who came, you betrayed and you killed The Holy and Chosen Son You received the law by angels Yet would not walk in the way Now you stand in the same rebellion Still turning your hearts away Final Chorus You stiffnecked people, uncircumcised in hearts You always resist the Holy Spirit Just as your fathers did, you also do You walk in the ways they inherited Outro I see the heavens opened wide The Son of Man standing there At the right hand of power and glory But you refuse to hear Lord receive my spirit Do not hold this sin against them
