Jesus Died For Us

Jesus Died for Us!

Christ promised to leave us never!
That you and I may live 
with him forever!

He came down and lived
 amongst sinful men…
To one day be the
 sacrifice for our sin!

He left heaven, whatever the cost.
He bled and died on 
the old rugged cross.

He came to earth, and born
 of Mary was he…
Only to cry; “father, why have
 you forsaken me?”

He gave his life for ours! 
Our sin was paid.
A way to heaven, through him,.  
was made!

He gave his all!  What more could he give?
He’s so patient and willing to forgive!

He’s here right now  
and is waiting for you!
He offers salvation! 
 What will you do?

He shall always love you! 
 Can’t you see?
He wants to be with you! 
 For eternity!
