When He took the
three disciples to the mountainside to pray
His countenance was
modified, his clothing was aflame
Two men appeared;
Moses and Elijah came
They were at his
side
The prophecy, the
legislation spoke of whenever he would die
Then there came a
word
Of what He should
accomplish on the day
Then Peter spoke,
to make of them a tabernacle place
A cloud appeared
in glory as an accolate
They fell on the ground
A voice arrived,
the voice of God
The face of God,
covered in a cloud
What he said to
them
The voice of God;
the most beloved Son
Consider what He
says to you,
Consider what’s to
come
The prophecy was
put to death
Was put to death,
and so will the Son
And keep your
word,
Disguise the
vision till the time has come
Lost in the cloud,
a voice: Have no fear! We draw near!
Lost in the cloud,
a sign: Son of Man! Turn your ear!
Lost in the cloud,
a voice: Lamb of God! We draw near!
Lost in the cloud,
a sign: Son of Man! Son of God!
