12 TRIBES – By the Names of the Sons by Bro H

Verse 1 From Jacob’s tent the blessings went, Twelve sons named by the hand of God, Reuben’s strength, Judah’s crown, Joseph’s branch spread far abroad. Scattered wide, yet known by signs, Written first in sacred writ, The marks still live upon a people History could never split. Chorus By the names of the sons we stand, Marked by covenant, law, and land, From the east to the western seas, We are Israel—called and freed. In Christ our Kinsman, blood and bone, The Shepherd knows His own. Verse 2 Ephraim grew to many crowns, Manasseh strong, a nation great, Dan left trails by river and road, Zebulun sailed through every gate. Issachar bore the load of time, Naphtali swift with words and song, Asher rich in bread and oil, Gad stood armed, the mountains strong. Chorus By the names of the sons we stand, Marked by covenant, law, and land, From the northlands to the plain, The promise lives, the oath remains. In Christ our Kinsman, blood and bone, The Shepherd knows His own. Verse 3 Benjamin fierce, the wolf at night, Simeon spread out, yet not erased, Levi taught the law of God, Judah kept the sceptre’s place. Scattered wide through lands and seas, Yet known by works and faithful ways, What the prophets spoke as truth Still stands fulfilled before our days. Bridge Not by chance, not by pride, But by what the prophets prophesied A brand new heart, spirit and mind, the mystery made known in time Final Chorus By the names of the sons we stand, Called to serve at our Christ’s command, Not by words or empty claim, But by walking in Jesus’ name. Law and mercy, truth and grace, Light to nations, God's order replaced. Jesus Christ, our Redeemer-King, Praise be unto His name we sing
