"My Savior, His Son"

I will praise you because you’re mighty
The King of Heaven, Lord of all,
You died upon that gruesome cross
To save us from the fall.

In glorious Eden man did sin
It only took one choice,
A perfect union broke that day
As man hid from God’s voice.

And so a baby He did send
All wrapped in swaddling cloth,
This baby was His only Son
Laid in a cattle troth.

The second person of the Godhead
Was sent to live on earth,
Our Savior, our Redeemer
Had now come with His birth!

That baby grew up day by day
In wisdom, strength, and power;
A sinless life He lived on earth
Even in that final hour.

He healed those who were sick and lame
The people all proclaimed,
“Hosanna to the king of kings,
Hosanna to His name”.

But when the proper time had come
The people’s hearts did turn,
And anger, wrath, and wickedness
All in their hearts did burn.

They shouted “Crucify Him”
They claimed “His story’s wrong,
He blasphemes that He’s God’s own son”
Thus this became their song.

So like a spotless perfect lamb
My Savior he was led,
The chastisement of a fallen world
To be laid upon His head.

Nailed to a wooden cross that morn
At Calvary He died,
He took my sin and death’s dark sting
“It’s finished” then He cried.

As I looked upon God’s Holy Son
I realized with distain,
It was my deeds that placed Him there
My sin that caused His pain.

Then in a borrowed tomb that night
My Savior they did lay,
Appointed guards were stationed there
So in it He would stay.

But an angel of the Lord appeared
All clothed in brilliant white,
And on the third day rolled the stone
To thus reveal the light.

My Savior, He had risen
The Lord, He was not there,
The people stood in silence
As in the grave they stare.

“Fear not”, the angel’s voice was heard
Like a mighty trumpet sound,
“For since the Father’s plan is complete
He’s no longer in the ground.”

“He’s risen and He reigns on high
Seated at the Father’s side,
If you believe in Him today
You will never have to hide.”

“Now, when your life is over
And you meet God face to face,
He’ll no longer see your sin and shame
For His Son stands in your place.

"But when the kindness and love of God our Savior appeared, He saved us, not because of righteous things we had done, but because of His mercy. He saved us through the washing of rebirth and renewal by the Holy Spirit, whom he poured out on us generously through Jesus Christ our Savior, so that, having been justified by his grace, we might become heirs having the hope of eternal life." ~Titus 3:4-7
