We Praise You Lord

We bow down to You Lord and praise Your name.
Because of Your love, our Savior came.
He was crucified and He died on the cross,
to save all those in this world who are lost.

Without Your love and Your gift of grace,
there would be no hope for the human race.
You planned this long before creation began.
It was the most wonderful part of your plan.

You knew man would be a sinful creature.
You sent Your Son to become man’s teacher.
He was the sacrifice for Your gift of salvation,
offered first to Your chosen, then the Gentile nations.

He was a simple man and He lived a sinless life.
Not unlike us, He faced rejection and strife.
He was gentle and kind and was a humble soul.
His earthly life fulfilled all prophecies foretold.

He cured the sick and gave sight to the blind.
He cast out demons from tormented minds.
He cleansed the lepers and raised the dead.
With just five loaves, many thousands He fed.

By His life, He taught us how we should be living.
We should be loving, kind, patient and forgiving.
Jesus’ mission on earth was to save the sinners.
By our faith and belief, we all become winners.
