The Word Was Raised Again - GC Chapter 9 The Swiss Reformer

Hear the Shepherd’s Voice

Hear the Shepherd’s Voice "My sheep hear My voice, and I know them, and they follow Me." — John 10:27 By Zeres Vitto Verse 1 Through the noise of a restless world, Through the shadows where many roam, There is still a voice of mercy, Calling every wanderer home. Some have walked with Him for years, Some still search through doubt and fear, Yet the Shepherd still is calling, Every willing soul to hear. Chorus Hear the Shepherd’s voice today, While the door of mercy stays open; He still calls by name in love, To the weary and the broken. Whether near or far you've strayed, Whether strong in faith or searching, Jesus knows the path you've trod— Hear His voice and follow Him. Verse 2 Mary wept beside the tomb, Till He softly spoke her name; Then the darkness fled before her, And her sorrow turned to praise. Samuel heard the call at night, Learning how to know God's voice; Still the Shepherd calls His children, Still He bids the heart rejoice. Chorus Hear the Shepherd’s voice today, While the door of mercy stays open; He still calls by name in love, To the weary and the broken. Whether near or far you've strayed, Whether strong in faith or searching, Jesus knows the path you've trod— Hear His voice and follow Him. Verse 3 Some are standing firm in truth, Holding fast through storm and trial; Some are seeking light and meaning, Walking one more weary mile. Some have never known His love, Never felt His gentle hand; Yet He searches every valley, That His lost ones may understand. Bridge Not by signs alone or might, But through Scripture’s living light; Through conviction, through His grace, Through the love shown on His face. When a thousand voices call, When deception fills the land, Blessed are the hearts that know The Shepherd’s voice and take His hand. Final Chorus Hear the Shepherd’s voice today, For the night is fast approaching; While He pleads within the courts above, His invitation still is open. For the Lamb who once was slain Soon shall come in power and glory; Blessed are the souls who hear And follow Him through earth’s last story. Outro He still calls— Will you answer? Will you follow? Will you come? #zeresvitto #heartheShepherdsVoice #everyone #gospealappeal

The Word Was Raised Again - GC Chapter 9 The Swiss Reformer

THE WORD WAS RAISED AGAIN (The Great Controversy Chapter 9 – The Swiss Reformer) By Zeres Vitto VERSE 1 — Light in the Alps In Alpine lands where shadows lay, A faithful voice broke through the gray; No power of men nor ancient claim Could bind the truth in Jesus’ name. He searched the Word in ancient tongue, Where living streams of truth are sung; No priestly claim above the Word— But Christ revealed through Scripture heard. REFRAIN The Word was raised, was raised again— Its light now shines among all men. No earthly power, no sword of might Can stand against advancing light. From Zurich’s streets the call was heard: “Return, O souls, unto the Word!” VERSE 2 — The Witness Restored Long had the sacred pages lain, Obscured by fear and bound by chain; Through darkest years its voice was low, Yet faithful hearts preserved its glow. But now the light broke forth again, And truth was preached to common men; The Scriptures spoke with power restored— Revealing Christ, the living Lord. REFRAIN The Word was raised, was raised again— Its light now shines among all men. No earthly power, no sword of might Can stand against advancing light. From Zurich’s streets the call was heard: “Return, O souls, unto the Word!” VERSE 3 — The Rising Conflict The conflict grew as truth advanced, And many hearts by grace were cleansed; For the apostate church with civil might Made war against unfolding light. Yet truth is not by force sustained, Nor conscience ever rightly chained; For Christ before the judge proclaimed: “My kingdom is not of this world.” VERSE 4 — A Work Unfinished The light increased, yet not complete— More truth remained to be revealed; For human rule still shaped the creed, Where Christ alone the church should lead. The call moves on through time’s long span, Restoring truth by Heaven’s plan; God’s remnant sound the final cry: “Come out, My people—follow God!” BRIDGE — Final Message Now angels fly through heaven’s height, Proclaiming truth with urgent might; To every land and tribe and tongue— The everlasting gospel sung. “Fear God! Give glory—judgment near! Worship the Maker of heaven and earth!” Babylon falls—her systems flee, “Come out, My people—now be free!” REFRAIN — FINAL The Word was raised, still shines today— Its truth no power can take away. Fear God and give Him glory due, Creator holy, just, and true. From every land the cry is heard: “Worship the Lord—obey His Word!” OUTRO From Zwingli’s voice to final cry, God’s truth goes forth—it cannot die.

Ang Dios Mismo ang Nagbayad

I'm back to translating songs. This one is a Tagalog adaptation of God Paid the Cost Himself in Christ, simply titled Ang Diyos Mismo ang Nagbayad. The outro of this song has always been a challenge and it is even more challenging when singing in Tagalog. Enjoy the message of the song. #zeresvitto #tagaloghymns #angDiosmismoangnagbayad #GodpaidthecostHimselfinChrist #Jesussaves #everyone Ang Dios Mismo ang Nagbayad Tagalog adaptation of God Paid the Cost Himself in Christ Original and Tagalog by Zeres Vitto Talata 1 – Genesis Sa Eden nang tao’y nagkasala, Ipinangako ng Panginoon, Ang Binhing darating ang magbabayad, Ang tao ay di pababayaan. Sa bundok ng Moriah, ama’y umakyat, Pasan ang kahoy ng bugtong na anak, Tinaas ang sundang, puso’y sinubok, Ngunit narinig, “Hindi pa tapos.” Pre-Chorus Ang tupang nasabit sa dawag, Ay ipinalit, habag ay nahayag, Lumukob sa mundo ang pag-ibig Na tumutupad sa kautusan. Chorus Ang Diyos mismo ang nagbayad, Isinugo ang Anak, Kordero’y inalay. Ang hinihingi ng katarungan, Pag-ibig ang nagbigay. Mula dambana hanggang Kalbaryo, Sa bawat sumpa, sa bawat sugat, Ganap ang kabayaran magpakailanman, Masdan si Kristo … Kordero ng Diyos! Talata 2 – Ang Krus Walang anghel ang sumansala, Nang si Kristo’y pinako’t sinumpa, Nagdilim ang langit, lupa’y nayanig, Nang ikinubli ng Diyos ang mukha Niya. Tinupok ng apoy, naubos ang poot, Hindi sa tao—kundi sa Anak, Sigaw ay tunay, napunit ang tabing, Ganap ang kabayaran magpakailanman. Pre-Chorus Ang kautusan ay tinupad, Ang krus naging luklukan ng awa, Katotohana't biyaya’y nagtagpo, At hindi binilang ang utang. Chorus Ang Diyos mismo ang nagbayad, Isinugo ang Anak, Kordero’y inalay. Ang hinihingi ng katarungan, Pag-ibig ang nagbigay. Mula dambana hanggang Kalbaryo, Sa bawat sumpa, sa bawat sugat, Ganap ang kabayaran magpakailanman, Masdan si Kristo … Kordero ng Diyos! Talata 3 – Muling Pagkabuhay Taglay ang sugat sa pagbangon Niya, Di inalis kundi niluwalhati, Sa harap ng trono magpakailanman, Siya ang buhay na patunay. Dumanak na kamay, namamagitan, Paa’y pinako, lumalakad sa langit, Sugatang Kordero na maringal, Taglay ang kabayaran magpakailanman. Bridge – Pahayag Sa itaas ng trono’y may bahaghari, Tipang tinatakan ng sugatang kamay, Awa’y naalaala, hatol na lumipas, Tipan ng pag-ibig, di natitinag. Ang mga tinubos ay tatayo, Ganap na patunay sa dugo ni Jesus, Bawat mukha’t awit ay magsasabi: Bayad ay ganap… at tayo’y naroon. Final Chorus Ang Diyos mismo ang nagbayad, Walang kamatayan ngunit may pilat, Walang hanggang patunay ng pag-ibig, Kordero’y taglay ang Kanyang ginawa. Mula Genesis hanggang walang hanggan, Mula sa pangako hanggang katuparan, Langit aawit, panahon sasagot: Kabayaran ay nahayag—pag-ibig ng Diyos. Outro – Walang Hanggan Wala nang kamatayan o luha, Ngunit mananatili ang mga pilat Niya, Hindi sugat kundi tanda ng tagumpay, Ng pag-ibig na nagwagi sa dilim. Panahon ay lilipas, ngunit mananatili: Ang trono, Kordero, at bahaghari. Di malilimot ng Diyos ang kabayaran. Ang Diyos mismo ang nagbayad, Pag-ibig Niya ay ating mamamasdan. Amen
