Join King Jesus

“Oh Lord, I give up the fight
I was wrong, you are right
I open the door and let you in.
Now you can have all my sin.
I thought that I was hiding
All my greed, lust, pride and lying.
I’m not as good as I look,
When I read the laws in your book.

I’ve been living for me each day,
Pouting and pushing to get my way.
You would be right to punish me
And send me to hell for eternity
I am guilty, your justice I can’t face
Oh Lord, I need your mercy and grace.

Now I join you, Jesus, in your story
Of why you left your power and glory
To come down to planet earth
And be born of virgin birth.
To live a life completely good
So it would be understood
That you were punished for my sin
So that I could live again.

When you bled and died on the cross
It was a win and not a loss.
You paid for all my guilt and shame
You stretched your arms and took my blame.
Now your payment I receive
When in your death I believe.

“It is finished” my debt is paid
Then in the tomb your body was laid.
Three days later you rose from the grave
Confirming only you have the power to save.

Now I stand in the hope of new life
Not the ruin of my guilt and strife.
Knowing I’m welcomed to your side
To live in heaven and forever abide.

The Ultimate Answer

The Problem:

God is holy and He is just.
Sin must be punished, it’s a must.
God judges us guilty for our sin.
We deserve hell, we can’t win.

The Solution:

Jesus is God in human skin,
Son of David, born of Jewish kin.
As a boy, He learned the law,
Then He worked with hammer and saw,
He ate and drank like a normal man,
But there was much more to the plan.

They whipped His back and spit in His face:
Stripped of His clothes, it was a disgrace.
He hung on the cross for all to see,
He paid the price for you and me.
(I am guilty, He died in my place,
But not just for me, the whole human race.)
For three days He was dead in the ground,
Then He arose with a mighty sound,
Jesus is Lord over sin and the grave,
All those who call, He will save.

Believe in Jesus Christ for Forgiveness, Turn to the Light and Practice Truth
16 For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life. 17 For God did not send His Son into the world to condemn the world, but that the world through Him might be saved.
18 “He who believes in Him is not condemned; but he who does not believe is condemned already, because he has not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God. 19 And this is the condemnation, that the light has come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil. 20 For everyone practicing evil hates the light and does not come to the light, lest his deeds should be exposed. 21 But he who does the truth comes to the light, that his deeds may be clearly seen, that they have been done in God.” John 3:16-
