A Savior we all need.
One like us to take our place,
Yet infinite in love and grace.
Can such a task succeed?
Jesus like us was born.
He loved the law of righteousness,
Yet bore our sin in deep distress,
Till resurrection morn.
Impeccable perfection!
The altar where oblation laid,
Atonement absolute was made.
Gone! every objection.
The God/man, Jesus Christ
Alone could such atonement make,
Alone sin’s penalty could break,
Alone could pay the price.
He’s worthy of our praise.
Our thanks to Him is all too small,
His glorious work exceeds them all,
Loud songs the heavens raise.
