Only Believe That I AM He

Jesus Christ and Him crucified,

It was for you and me that He died.

God’s justice demanded a blood sacrifice

A human being had to pay that price.

A human whose blood would satisfy

A human whom God would not deny;

So Jesus came in the form of a man,

To this barren, forsaken and sin soaked land –

He gladly answered the Father’s call

He became a burnt offering for us all.

The requirements of the law had to be fulfilled,

To the Father’s request, He said, “I will.”

The burnt offering pleased the Father, you see --

In covering man and all our depravity.

A Holy God could not be approached,

By sin filled man and his reproach.

The justice of God would have destroyed us all

If Jesus hadn’t humbly answered His call,

He took the brunt of that awful curse --

That would have fallen on the earth. 

We would have been dead forever in sin,

If Jesus had not taken us in --

He’s the Great Shepherd of the fold,

He gave His life for our lost souls.

Jesus, our perfect example, we say –

Personally, I’d have it no other way.

He shed His blood at Calvary

To save a no good sinner like me.

I jump for joy, and I clap my hands –

Because Jesus satisfied God’s demands.

And I hear the Father saying to His Son,

Well done, my Beloved; I am pleased; well done.

It was Jesus who came and set me free

From the misery of sin and its penalty.

A Holy God, His perfect Son,

The God man Jesus, the Holy One!

He gave Himself a perfect sacrifice,

That I might have eternal life –

He brought together God and man most lost.

By perfectly dying on Calvary’s Cross. 

And the blood that was shed that faithful day,

Is still showing us the light and the way;

Over 2000 years ago when it was first shed –

It stills has the power to do what He said.

To cleanse us and save us perfectly from sin

Won’t you let Jesus take you in?

And all He asks for you to be free,

Is to only believe that I AM He!
