Verse 1.
I read a book, it touched my soul,
it changed my life, it made me whole.
It came from God by prophet's hands,
inspired to write God's words for man.
Chorus:
An ancient record lies revealed;
An ancient prophecy fulfilled;
The Stick of Joseph, according to God's plan,
Has come forth to be one in thy hand.
Verse 2.
Ezekiel wrote of modern times,
when two records would be combined
To boldly stand and testify
of Christ the Lord to all mankind.
(Chorus)
Verse 3.
A young boy prayed while yet in youth,
for heaven's grace to know the truth;
And in response to faith's desire,
a shining light, a burning fire.
(Chorus)
Verse 4.
To all the world through Joseph's hand
was truth once more restored to man.
To each who prays with pure intent,
the answer comes from heaven sent.
(Chorus - Final, and repeat last line of Chorus to end.)
