JESUS MY CONSTANT

JESUS MY CONSTANT      


My constant reminder is Jesus, he
Considers me his child, friend, and
Redeemed....confessed his love for
Me by dying on the wooden tree of

Calvary....for a world of lost sinners
Without hope until he stepped down
From heaven's throne, became a tiny
Babe who grew into a man and went

About doing good, healing, teaching
God's ways, a carpenter by trade, he
Is a lowly servant....Savior, powerful
Creator, King of kings, Lord of lords

He's God who loved, and he can't be
Ignored, paid the price for mankind's
Unrighteousness, his hands and feet
Forever scarred....his wounded side

Still bears the mark of love in action
Doing only what God could do....bear
Man's sins, breaking through the wall
That separated from God, atonement.
