1 We're the river-crossers, Hebrews is our name;
Crossed the Euphrates, idols all are slain.
We are the Hebrews, that's our real name;
We've crossed the river, we are not the same.
Building God's house that He may dwell on earth,
Building God's house that He may dwell on earth.
2 We were bound in Egypt, building for the foe;
God of the Hebrews said, "Let My people go!"
God of the Hebrews, speak again today;
God of the Hebrews, lead us all the way.
Save all Your people from this crooked age,
Save all Your people from this crooked age
3 We're released, and now we build the house of God;
His tabernacle is our true abode.
Salvation's Captain sounds the trump of war;
City by city, take we more and more,
To gain His kingdom, enter into rest,
To gain His kingdom, enter into rest.
4 What was once God-given soon a form became;
Then John the Baptist did God's word proclaim —
Turn from the prophets, turn unto the Son;
He's My Beloved, He and I are one;
His Word will save you to the uttermost,
His Word will save you to the uttermost.
5 Now we're overcomers on the sea of glass;
This final crossing will forever last.
We're overcomers, that's our real name.
God has His city; Satan gets the shame.
God is our portion for eternity,
God is our portion for eternity.
