Today... 'Christ Jesus' Poem by Roy Allen

Today... 'Christ Jesus'



Paul the apostle proclaimed to them all
That on the name of Christ they need to call
For in Christ Jesus they need to believe
and redemption from sins they will receive.

You justify all those turning to You
They're sanctified by Your blood and made new
In Christ Jesus Who sits upon the throne
is the wisdom that comes from God alone

No condemnation now, the price is paid
For upon Christ Jesus our sins were laid
As holy saints we call upon the Lord
And are all saved by the mercy of God

The Lord our Righteousness You became
Sanctifying us by Your precious name
We are redeemed and are made holy too
Through the wisdom of God that comes through You

Justified and made right before our God
We're sanctified through Christ Jesus our Lord
And redeemed of God both holy and true
There's no condemnation for those in You

The Bible calls You by many names
each one giving a glimpse of Your glory.
Like a cut diamond radiating in the sun
with every facet depicting an aspect
of Your Divine Nature.
Today I have thought of You as
'Christ Jesus'
