When the one who formed the dust
Shaped it into hands and feet (Gen. 2:7, I Cor. 15:47, Job 10:9)

The angels showed the way (Luke 2:8-20)

In a manger on the hay (Luke 2:7-20)

When the Spirit, like a dove
Settled on Him, then we heard (Matt. 3:16, John 1:32)

In whom is His delight (Matt. 3:17, Mark 1:11, Luke 3:22)
We beheld His glory
When the Heavens opened wide

We beheld His glory
On a mountain when we saw
Jesus and Elijah and
The one who gave the law (Matt. 17:1-4, Mark 9:2-4, Luke 9:30)

Call Him “beloved Son” (Matt. 17:5, Mark 9:7, Luke 9:35, II Pet. 1:17-18)

When His face shone like the sun (Matt. 17:2)

When He stood before our eyes
Sent us as His witnesses (Acts 1:8, Luke 24:48, Matt. 28:19-20, Mark 16:15, John 20:21)

We know He’ll come again (Acts 1:10-11)

As we watched our Lord ascend (Acts 1:10)
