The Covenant Remembered

Inspired by Psalm 105:1-22 This song is a sweeping proclamation of God’s faithfulness, drawing directly from Psalm 105 and interpreting it through the lens of redemption in Jesus Christ. At its core, the song celebrates God as a covenant-keeping Lord whose promises never fail, even across generations, suffering, and history itself. Verse 1 echoes Psalm 105’s call to public, joyful worship. Praise is not meant to be private or timid; it is to be proclaimed among the nations. The song emphasizes that remembering God’s works fuels faith, joy, and endurance. Seeking God’s face becomes the believer’s lifelong pursuit, sustained by His grace rather than human strength. The chorus anchors the entire message in the “covenant of grace,” showing how the ancient promises to Abraham find their ultimate fulfillment in Christ. The reference to the “Seed” highlights the biblical theme that God’s oath to Abraham was not merely about land, but about salvation for all humanity through Jesus. The cross is described as the true Promised Land—where judgment becomes redemption and worship flows from gratitude, not fear. Verse 2 affirms God’s unchanging faithfulness across “a thousand generations,” stressing that His word is certain and His purposes unstoppable. The earthly Promised Land is revealed as a shadow of the greater rest found in Christ. Verses 3 and 4 retell the story of Joseph—his betrayal, suffering, and eventual exaltation. His life becomes a prophetic picture of Christ: both were rejected, bound, and yet raised by God to bring deliverance. What humans intended for harm, God used for salvation. The final chorus and outro declare the song’s ultimate truth: God’s covenant is eternal. History, suffering, and even betrayal are all woven into His redemptive plan. The song’s meaning is clear—remembering God’s wonders leads believers to trust His promises, worship Christ, and find hope that God is always faithful to save. LYRICS The Covenant Remembered (Music begins with a strong, declarative brass fanfare, settling into a rhythmic, celebratory melody) Verse 1 Give praise unto the Lord, proclaim His holy name! Go tell it to the nations, His mighty deeds acclaim! Sing to Him, sing His praises, with every breath you own, Tell of the wondrous acts our God has made so known! Glory in His holy name, let seeking hearts be glad! Rejoice, for by His goodness, your weary soul is clad! Look to the Lord, His strength embrace, seek ever His dear face, And run the race of faith within His boundless grace! Chorus Remember all His wonders, the covenant of grace! The promise of the Saviour for all the human race! We worship You, King Jesus, the Chosen One, the Seed, In whom the oath to Abraham is met in word and deed! Your judgments are redemption, Your cross our promised land, We stand in grateful worship, held by Your nail-scarred hand! Verse 2 He is the Lord our God, His truth the earth has filled, His promises are certain, His word shall be fulfilled! He remembers His own covenant, a thousand generations long, The theme of heaven's victory, the eternal, faithful song! The oath He swore to Abraham, confirmed to Isaac's line, To Jacob as a sure decree, a purpose so divine! “To you I give a promised land, a rich and sure reward,” A shadow of the rest we find in Christ, our risen Lord! Chorus Remember all His wonders, the covenant of grace! The promise of the Saviour for all the human race! We worship You, King Jesus, the Chosen One, the Seed, In whom the oath to Abraham is met in word and deed! Your judgments are redemption, Your cross our promised land, We stand in grateful worship, held by Your nail-scarred hand! Verse 3 When they were few and wandered, as strangers in the land, He shielded them from tyrants by His almighty hand. He rebuked the greatest kings, “Do not My anointed harm!” And stretched His arm of mercy to keep His own from alarm. He called a famine on the earth, a desperate, trying need, Yet in His plan of mercy, He sent a man to lead. He sent a man before them, though he was sold a slave, To conquer death and rescue all whom He came to save. Chorus Remember all His wonders, the covenant of grace! The promise of the Saviour for all the human race! We worship You, King Jesus, the Chosen One, the Seed, In whom the oath to Abraham is met in word and deed! Your judgments are redemption, Your cross our promised land, We stand in grateful worship, held by Your nail-scarred hand! Verse 4 They bruised his feet with fetters, his neck in iron bound, Till all the Lord had promised was in fulfillment found. The king then sent and freed him, the prison doors swung wide, And raised him up to rule, with all power to provide! So Christ, betrayed and captive, was bound for us that day, But God has raised and crowned Him, the Life, the Truth, the Way! He rules o'er all creation, our Master and our Priest, Our Prophet, King, and Saviour, from greatest to the least! (Final Chorus - Full, triumphant, with a choir)
