Jesus
Friend, do you know who Jesus is?
He means so much to me
He is my Savior, Friend, and Guide.
What more could someone be?
He gave His life to purchase mine
Though I deserved to die,
For I’d rebelled against God’s law –
Don’t hate, don’t steal, don’t lie…
Though He was perfect, He stepped in
To take my guilty place;
He took my sin and died for me
To pay my debt in grace.
And then He rose to give His place
Of perfect good to me
So I could be God’s child and live
With Him eternally.
One day I saw the best I’ve done
Could never pay my fine;
I trusted in His work and asked
To call His mercy mine.
At once He made the great exchange
For which I had applied –
He took my sins and, in His love,
Became my Lord and Guide.
Now I am His and He is mine,
I have a home above;
He saved my soul, forgave my sin,
And cares for me in love.
Perhaps you see why Jesus means
So very much to me.
Won’t you receive Him as your own?
He’s calling, “Come, be free.”
