Clean Lyric
Paragraph Lyric
Twelve groups of stars
Surrounding God's heaven
Same as the tribes
The twelve tribes of Israel

Each hold a sign
Surrounding God's presence
Blurring the lines
‘tween here and his residence

Twelve makes a day
Twelve tones in music
Twelve months a year
Do you think it's an accident?

Christ as the Sun
Pictures the Father
Surrounded by twelve
That he calls his brothers

Twelve precious stones
Upon the Priests Ephod
Twelve were the sons
The twelve sons of Jacob

Twelve oxen held
In Solomon's temple
Three thousand baths
To cleanse all the Levites

Christ built his church
Upon twelve apostles
And three thousand souls
Were added at Pentecost

Christ built His church
Upon twelve apostles
And three thousand souls
Were added at Pentecost

And then after all, with our backs against the wall
We seek the temple of the living God
We seek the temple of the living God
