That Is Why He Came...

" ...you shall call his name Jesus, for he will save his people from their sins.” 

Matt.1:21

He saves us; that is why He came

Atonement's endless Being

God gave His Son whose precious name

Sends demon-darkness fleeing

He came; this of His own accord

Mercy, purposed and fervent

He, King of kings and Lord of lords

Came to us as love’s servant

He came; Perfection put on flesh

Hope’s Promise for all nations

Immortal God; man’s righteousness

And blood-purchased salvation

He came; left Heaven’s throne for us

Sin’s curse broken forever

He came, God’s only son, Jesus

Deliverer and Saviour

He came so when we leave this place

Death will not be our sanction

He came to save; His love and grace

Will be our Resurrection
