Cloud on the Mountain, Fire in the Sight

Описание: A Bluegrass gospel song weaving together the twelve spies and the giants of the land, Yahweh descending in the cloud (Numbers 11–12), Paul’s sharp rebuke to Corinth (1 Corinthians 1:10–17 LSB), and the unity of the body of Christ. The song echoes the devotion of Be Thou My Vision without quoting copyrighted lyrics — focusing instead on the themes of vision, wisdom, inheritance, and Christ as High King of Heaven.
All framed through a full‑preterist understanding: the promises fulfilled, the kingdom established, and the call to walk worthy of the gospel in unity, humility, and truth.

Verse 1 — The Spies and the Giants
Twelve spies walked the promised land,
Netafim giants rising where the vineyards stand.
Fruit so heavy it bowed the line,
A shadow of the promise in appointed time.
Yahweh came down in a pillar of cloud,
Numbers 12 still speaks out loud.
And we sing it through the night:
Cloud on the mountain, fire in the sight.
Chorus — Is Christ Divided?
Is Christ divided, or is it we who tear apart?
Paul called out the names, cut straight to the heart.
Not baptized in Paul, not saved by any man,
One body, one Spirit, held in Your hand.
And through it all we hold on tight:
Cloud on the mountain, fire in the sight.
Verse 2 — The Cloud and the Jealous Heart
Sixty‑eight went out, two stayed in the camp,
But the Spirit marked them with the same bright stamp.
“Are you jealous?” Moses cried,
Let Yahweh’s breath fall far and wide.
Many parts but one whole frame,
A bad knee still bears the name.
We move as one in the risen Son,
And the anchor keeps us right:
Cloud on the mountain, fire in the sight.
Bridge — Devotion Echo
Be our wisdom, be our sight,
Be our treasure in the night.
Shield and strong tower, ever near,
Your presence drives away all fear.
And still Your people sing with might:
Cloud on the mountain, fire in the sight.
Breakdown — Paul’s Rebuke
“I exhort you, brothers,”
By Christ’s name alone.
No factions, no idols,
No divided throne.
Walk in a manner worthy and true,
Let the Spirit’s power be seen in you.
And let this truth stay burning bright:
Cloud on the mountain, fire in the sight.
Final Chorus — Unified Body
Is Christ divided, or is it we who break the seam?
You call us back to the center of the redeemed.
One body, one Spirit, one calling, one Lord,
Fulfilled in the ages, in the power of Your Word.
Help us walk worthy, in love and truth,
Christ alone glorified in all we do.
And let our anthem rise in light:
Cloud on the mountain, fire in the sight.
