Who is this Jesus?













All over the world people have heard this name
There is no doubt about his fame
He came to earth as a symbol of love
Sent to us from God above
Assigned by his Father a difficult mission
He sacrificed his life for sin remission
He was beaten and bruised for our evil ways
Yet his spirit of love lives on today

Who is this Jesus?
Who is this Jesus?

God gave us Ten Commandments to live by
Moral standards to apply to our lives
“Remember the Sabbath day to keep it holy…”
The day to worship God and him only
Thou shalt not kill…thou shalt not steal
Don’t lie on people…keep it real
No adultery…no envy of others
Show love to your neighbor…your sisters…your brothers

Who is this Jesus?
Who is this Jesus?

But man could not keep the royal law
So God sent Jesus to be an example for all
Starting with his miraculous birth
He went on to perform many miracles on earth
He healed the sick…gave sight to the blind
And invited all to his table to dine
He fed a multitude with one fish and some bread
And even brought loved ones back from the dead

Who is this Jesus?
Who is this Jesus?

Religious leaders in their jealousy
Had him tried for blasphemy
He was tried convicted and crucified
Defeated the grave and came back alive
Now through Him we can have eternal life
He gives us peace in the midst of strife
He gives us joy in the place of heartache
And continuous victory over our mistakes

Who is this Jesus?
Who is this Jesus?

 When we are depressed and can find no comfort
Jesus is there to ease our hurt
When we are shackled with an addiction
Jesus becomes our restoration
When we are in jail locked away
Jesus frees our spirit each and every day
When bad health has beaten us down
It’s in Jesus our healing can be found

Who is this Jesus?
Who is this Jesus?

No one is perfect…we’ve all done wrong
Yet to Jesus we all belong
We confess to Him the sins we did
And in the name of Jesus God will forgive
Jesus is the hope for humanity
He sacrificed his life to set our souls free
He knocks at the door of our hearts
So let Him in and he’ll never depart!

Who is this Jesus?
Who is this Jesus?
