Who is this Jesus who impacted my life? This Jesus who cares for my soul He was always there when I needed Him most To restore what the devil had stole He is Creator of heaven and earth He spoke and the heavens unfurled Colours wove themselves into rainbows And His fragrance filled the world He created the sun, moon and stars And His words sent the darkness fleeing He breathed, and a handful of dust Became a living being He gave up heaven’s throne For a pile of straw in a manger His glory He put aside When He came to earth as a stranger He bade farewell to heaven’s love To receive man’s hatred and shame Despite taking on humanity In Him there was found no blame He healed the sick and raised the dead And made the blind to see He laughed and wept, and forgave our sin And stilled the raging sea He taught the lost to know the Father And He cleansed the house of God He fed the poor, refused Satan’s lure And defied the firing squad He was wounded for our transgressions He was bruised for our iniquity As a lamb to the slaughter, He bled blood and water When He hung on Calvary’s tree He was laid in a tomb of stone Satan thought he had victory As His disciples dispersed, He reversed the curse When He rose triumphantly He’s the Prince of Peace; He’s the Lion of Judah He’s seated at God’s right hand He is crowned with glory and honour He is the victor at Satan’s last stand His name is above every name Throughout heaven His praises ring He was highly exalted when sin was assaulted He is Jesus, the soon coming King. He is the Alpha and Omega, the Beginning and the End He is the Baptiser, Anointer, Life Giver to the dead He is the Saviour, Redeemer, the Sacrificial Lamb He is the Final Word, the Amen, He is the great I AM © Byron Lanyon-Roberts |
