[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
