Christ the True and Better
Christ the True and Better - Keith & Kristyn Getty
Verse 1
Christ, the true and better Adam, Son of God and Son of man.
Who, when tempted in the garden never yielded, never sinned.
He who makes the many righteous brings us back to life again.
Dying, he reversed the curse, then, Rising, crushed the serpent’s head!
Let’s compare Adam and Christ in their gardens
Verse 2
Christ, the true and better Isaac, humble son of sacrifice.
Who would climb the fearful mountain there to offer up his life.
Laid with faith upon the altar, Father’s joy and only son.
There salvation was provided. Oh, what full and boundless love.
Verse 3
Christ, the true and better Moses, called to lead a people home.
Standing bold to earthly powers, God’s great glory to be known.
With his arms stretched wide to heaven, see the waters part in two.
See the veil is torn forever, cleansed with blood, we pass now through.
Verse 4
Christ, the true and better David, lowly shepherd, mighty King.
He, the champion in the battle. Where, O death, is now thy sting?
In our place, he bled and conquered, crown him Lord of majesty!
His shall be the throne forever. We shall e’er his people be.
