The Most Important Book
In our life we'll read many books
far too many they'll be to count
but the most important one of all
no one will have read without doubt
It's a book with a number of names
of people God counts as His own
those whose sins He's forgiven
all because of His perfect love being shown
This love took His only begotten son
on the darkest road taken by any man
it led Him to Calvary so full of pain
the pain of all our sins was His fathers plan
So Jesus Christ the eternal king of glory
paid for all our sins in the death He died
being our substitute before a holy God
fulfilled by the words it is finished He cried
This book belongs indeed to God's lamb
one who purchased our great salvation
our names written in this book of grace
telling that we've received merciful redemption
