WHO ELSE?

What exactly would you call
A love as pure as snow
Strong enough to cause its Owner
To die for those He did not know?

A slow and lingering painful death
To save sinners one and all?
That laid a pathway to Salvation
Across every earthly wall?

What name would you give Someone
Who had dined at God's own table
But let Himself be born a Babe
In a cold and tiny stable?

What adjectives are adequate
To describe the life He led?
Sermons preached and lessons taught
Sick healed and thousands fed!

No, words by themselves cannot
Tell the story of this Man...
Who lived and suffered, died and rose
And now sits at God's right Hand

Your ears can hear of what He did
Your eyes can see the light
Your hands can join in fervent prayer
Your mind can comprehend His might

But none of that will be enough
Unless your heart invites Him in;
For to truly follow Jesus
You must have His love within!

It will guarantee your salvation
And you'll know what to say,
When they ask, "What is He to you?"
A HERO....make Him yours today!!
