Jesus, the Open Door
Italian octaves
Who is this Jesus? He is perfection.
He is the Key, yet He's also the Door,
ask to gain access; enter and explore.
Reflect on His names; find their connection.
How can He be both Beginning and End?
He's Lawgiver, Faithful Witness, and Judge;
also an Advocate who will not budge,
royal Sovereign, He is my loyal Friend.
He's Author of Life as well as the Word;
He's Cornerstone, Capstone and Solid Rock.
His still small Voice calmly commands His flock;
Can the Lamb of God be our Good Shepherd?
Root of David yet Seed of Abraham.
The Sacrifice who wears the High Priest's shoes,
Servant who submits; Master who subdues,
a Righteous Branch, He is the Great I Am.
He's both Gift and Giver of Salvation,
He is the Son of Man and Son of God,
divinely human without fake façade.
He is Builder, and our Firm Foundation.
Reflect on His names; find their connection.
Ask and gain access; enter to explore.
He is the Key, yet He's also the Door,
who is this Jesus? He is perfection.
