Unfolding Intro
[Intro]
This is the Unfolding (X3)
Written with the goal that you become gripped by the Scriptures you are holding

[Verse 1]
This is the Unfolding written with the goal
That you become gripped by the Scriptures you are holding
Whether preaching or getting in devotions
The glory of Christ is the picture you’re beholding
May the depth of the riches of His excellent Scriptures give you a sense you’re swimming in His Ocean
I know you get that you are chosen
But I pray you’ll flip through the Old Testament Scripts to Know Him

[Sample]
The unfolding of the Old Testament in the New
The New unfolds what really is in the Old Testament

[Verse 2]
So the purpose of this album
Is to trace Old Testament themes to see how God’s working out their outcome
They find their fulfillment in Christ and His people
The Old Testament’s the preview like it’s a prequel
And of course Westminster served this double album’s particular purpose
By teaching me tools like Greek and Hebrew and Hermeneutics for in-depth Scriptural searches
It enriched my family
Strengthened our worship
But as I spent five years digging in verses
The deeper I dug into the riches of Christ the more I realized that I’m just skimming the surface
It's organic unity starts like an acorn
That through redemptive history grows as it takes form
By the end it’s a full-blooming oak tree revealing the glory of the crucified and raised Lord
The New Testament writers assumed these assumptions
The OT has Christ-centered truth in abundance
It’s important you see this
They use Old Testament language to paint inspired portraits of Jesus
Cause ultimately the Scriptures are one scroll
That through progressive revelation it unfolds
Thus the Old Testament and of course the New is Christ’s story and since we’re in Him it’s our story too
The New Testament writers would ground what they wrote in Old Testament allusions with thousands of quotes
And what I’ve found is so dope
Each of these themes are like strands that are tightly bound in a rope
So Jesus Christ ties it all together
The high exalted treasure who we’ll magnify forever
So as we’re done beholding His unfolding story
May we see it’s all about the Son’s holy glory
