Christ

12 November 1995


Who is this man we call Jesus
Do we need to know
Yet we all have the strength
reach out, accept the covenants
For Christ is our Saviour

He died on the cross
for you, for your neighbour
your brothers — sisters
We are all children under him
Each day is an education

Yea, with no Christ
there can be no God
with no faith, we are nothing
but dust. Stand tall, stand proud
rejoice, for Jesus loves us all


“For if they which are of the law be heirs, faith is made
void, and the promise made of none effect: Because the
law worketh wrath: for where no law is, there is no
transgression. Therefore it is of faith, that it might be by
grace; to the end the promise might be sure to all the seed;
not to that only which is of the law, but to that also which
is of the faith of Abraham; who is the father of us all,”
Romans 4: 14 -16 KJV

Amen!  I can't imagine making it through the valleys of this life without faith in our Lord.  Yet at one time, I only believed He existed and was unaware of His great love for us.  Thanks for sharing.

BEAUTIFUL!!!  I love the stanza:
Yea, with no Christ
there can be no God
with no faith, we are nothing
but dust.
This is so very true.  If it had not been for Christ and what He did for us, life would have no meaning and we would still be a lost race.  Very well expressed and so full of awesome emotion.
