We’re the river-crossers, Hebrews is our name

lyricist: Adapted

We’re the river-crossers

Hebrews is our name;

Crossed the Euphrates

idols all are slain.

Entered into Canaan

left the other side;

Seeking a city

which shall e’er abide.

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.

We were bound in Egypt

building for the foe;

God of the Hebrews said

“Let My people go!”

We have crossed the Red Sea

reached the other side;

Pharaoh

his army

perished in the tide.

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.

We’re released

and now we build the house of God;

His tabernacle is our true abode.

Forty years of oldness left in Jordan’s tide

Fight we for Canaan on the kingdom side.

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.

What was once God-given soon a form became;

Then John the Baptist did God’s word proclaim—

Make another crossing

God is going on;

Judaism’s over; listen to My Son!

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.

Now we’re overcomers on the sea of glass;

This final crossing will forever last.

Sing the song of Moses

make the praise complete

Look! All our enemies beneath our feet.

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.
