HERO

Snippet

The three years of Jesus’ public ministry have stimulated more comment and literature across nineteen centuries than any other comparable segment of human history.  Carl F.H. Henry  A Plea for Evangelical Demonstration, Baker, 1971, p. 55.

Scripture

Jesus did many other things as well. If every one of them were written down, I suppose that even the whole world would not have room for the books that would be written.  John 21:25

Hero By Abandon

He walked the dirty streets

Famous for nothing

He said, "Come follow me"

And they came

A face like all the rest

But something was different

The Son of God would lead the way

And soon they all would say

There He goes, a Hero, a Savior to the world

Here He stands with scars in His hands

With love He gave His life so we could be free

The Savior of the world

He spoke with clarity

Walked across the sea

A single word

Would calm the storm

His touch could heal the sick

But He was called a hypocrite

Laid behind the stone

His death was shortly mourned

He left the curtain torn

And there He goes, a Hero, a Savior to the world

Here He stands with scars in His hands

With love He gave His life so we could be free

The Savior of the world

He chose to take the cross

Shed tears for the lost

The broken and the needy

Forgiving those who were and will be

The angel made it clear

He told them have no fear

He's not here, He's not here

There He goes, a Hero, a Savior to the world

Here He stands with scars in His hands

With love He gave His life so we could be free

The Savior of the world, the Savior of the world

The Savior of the world

Sentence Prayer

Father

When we were still helpless,

Christ died for the wicked at the time God Chose.

One of us might dare to die for someone good.

But now we see God’s love;

While we were still sinners, Christ died for us.

God rescued us from the power of darkness

And brought us safe into the kingdom of his dear son.

By whom we are set free and our sins are forgiven.

So we rejoice in the hope we have of sharing in God’s glory.

By the Holy Spirit

God has poured into our hearts the love of Christ.  Amen.
