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
