John 14:6
My Jesus is dread Sovereign Lord of all.
One day He came to me with salvation’s call.
My sin made His Justice worthy and so right.
I had no hope to remedy my plight.
How can it be that right and mercy are lasting friends?
How can it be that Jesus is both friend and Lord?
Perfection is required to live without an end,
but I can’t be perfect says His own Word.
The cross of Christ has made amends,
that Sovereign Lord can be my friend.
His loving servant and His bride
made dear by grace. I need not hide.
By His own Will we’re made complete
to live with Him and with Him eat.
The fear of Hell need never harm
the saint, who’s free from sin’s deep charm.
Though once I was His enemy,
I’ve been redeemed, forever free.
And now in joy, I’m made His friend.
This relationship will never end.
