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
