JESUS
He's King of Kings.
He's Lord of Lord.
He is the Everlasting Father.
He's Prince of Peace,
Our Counselor
He is Almighty God.
He's Bread of Life.
He is the Vine.
He is the pure and living Water.
He is our Shepherd.
He's our Shield.
He's Everlasting Light.
He is our Refuge.
He is our Strength.
He is the wonderful Physician.
He is the Door,
The Truth, the Life,
He is our Loving God.
And yet, He chose the place for hay
On which His infant head to lay.
In love fulfill salvation’s plan.
He chose a tiny little town
Not one of pomp and great renown.
He chose to break this joyful news
First - to some plain folks - herding ewes.
It was to them, despised by peers,
The angel said, “Oh, do not fear!”
Shepherds believed and they obeyed
The best news they had ever heard.
They hurried to the House of Bread
To see the Child in manger laid
Just as they had been told!
They worshiped and adored Him there
Then spread their news through market square
Amazing all who stopped to hear!
Yes, God Himself as man did dwell;
Won victory over death and hell!
How great His love for you and me
To suffer torture, pain, such agony
Spill all His blood on Calvary.
They put Him in a tomb – though not His own.
His work was done; to leave, He rolled away the stone
For tombs can’t hold the Son of God
E’en though He walked this earthly sod.
Yes, He arose triumphantly,
Went home to His Eternity -
And now lives LIFE through you and me!
He is the Nazarene
The Carpenter
The Root of Jesse and of David
Yet Savior of the World!
He is Beginning and the End
The First and Last
He is the Holy One!
He is Immanuel
The Living One
He is the Morning Star
Light of the World!
COME and WORSHIP CHRIST
The promised Messiah
The unspeakable gift!
