"The Gospel"
And demonstrate Christ's love
(c) 2017 Zachary Uram
Christ first appeared
On a cold wintry night
Snow was gently falling
A lone candle gave light
Born to the blessed Virgin Mary
Sweet baby Jesus, the incarnate deity
Emmanuel was now before us
Oh what a heavenly sight to see
Christ was now a man
He began His earthly ministry
The crippled were healed
The blind could now see
Christ is the Logos
The living Word
So open your ears
Let the Lord be heard
According to the Law
We are dead in our sin
A perfect sacrifice is needed
A propitiation
Jesus lived with His 12 Apostles
He taught them all without exception
But one would betray Him
This man of perdition
In the Garden of Gethesemane Jesus prayed
And asked if He could forgo this bitter pill
Our precious Lord sweat blood
And He accepted the Father's will
Christ was taken before the religious authorities
They cruelly mocked Him
The Romans brutally scourged and beat Jesus
His life flickered dim
Oh how our Lord suffered
He endured so much pain
Our very sins caused this misery
The wicked heart profane
The King of Kings was crucified
Upon this tree He hung
He was slowly suffocating
Oh His burning lung
The Apostle John and the Blessed Mother
Saw the God Man in agony
Jesus cried out, "It is finished!"
His spirit did flee
He was buried in a tomb
The Romans guarded it well
Christ visited Abraham's Bosom
He released the souls from Hell
This perfect Lamb of God
Died in our place
He took on sin
Jesus finished the race
Now on the 3rd day
Something happened most miraculous
It can hardly be reckoned
This event so stupendous
Our Lord Jesus was resurrected
His body glorified and risen
Death could not hold Him
The Son of God was free from prison
Christ conquered sin
Death and Satan too
His sacrifice has made salvation possible
For me and you
So place your faith in Jesus
Call upon His blessed Name
Your life will be transformed
You'll never be the same
By God's grace we are saved
Through faith received
We are regenerated
By the faith of a mustard seed
To be born again
Is the greatest miracle of all time
You will receive the Holy Spirit
Now walk in truth sublime
So praise Him on the earth
And in the Heavens above
Let us proclaim the Good News
