These are the songs written for the book, each with its recording and its words.
1. Kept Through
The theme song of the book
Verse 1Noah did not fly above the rain, He rode the flood inside the ark God made; The waters rose, the world went under, But the door God shut held fast through all the thunder.Verse 2In Egypt when the plagues came down, The hail struck hard on every field around, But Goshen stood untouched and bright, God's people dwelling in the light.ChorusKept through, kept through, Not taken out, but carried through. The fire may burn, the flood may rise, But I am sealed before His eyes. Kept through, kept through, My God is faithful; He will keep me through.Verse 3Three men were bound and thrown to flame; The king looked in, and four walked free the same. They walked unbound, not one hair burned, No smell of smoke when they returned.Verse 4The night before the cross, He prayed, Not that His own be taken away, But kept from evil while they stay; That prayer still stands for us today.BridgeNo one knows the day or hour, So I will watch and trust His power. When the King comes on the clouds, I'll rise to meet Him in the air, And always with my Lord be there.Final ChorusKept through, kept through, Not taken out, but carried through. The fire may burn, the flood may rise, But I am sealed before His eyes. Kept through, kept through, My God is faithful; He will keep me through.
2. The Lamb Holds the Scroll
Chapter Ten: Seals, Trumpets, and Bowls
Verse 1A scroll in the hand of the One on the throne, Sealed seven times, and the Lamb alone Was worthy to open what no one could see: The Lamb who was slain holds all history.Verse 2Seven seals, seven trumpets, seven bowls poured out, A fourth, then a third, then the whole earth about; Each one ends at the day of His wrath: Three pictures, one story, one end to the path.ChorusThe Lamb holds the scroll, the Lamb holds the scroll; The prayers of the saints rise in bowls of pure gold. Before the winds blow, He seals every one; The Lord knows His own, and the Lamb holds the scroll.Verse 3Search all the book for a seven-year span, You'll find only half, forty-two months again; What God keeps secret belongs to the Lord; What He has spoken, I hold as His word.BridgeThe woman is carried to the wilderness place, Fed through the days by the God of all grace. The dragon is raging, his time is short, But the Lamb wins the war, for He is the Lord.Final ChorusThe Lamb holds the scroll, the Lamb holds the scroll; The prayers of the saints rise in bowls of pure gold. Before the winds blow, He seals every one; The Lord knows His own, and the Lamb holds the scroll.
