The Names of God In Christ
Jesus Christ came here to reveal God
showing all of his splendour and might
for Jesus is fully God eternally true
displaying his power over the enemy of night
The lamb of God Jesus so declared
taking our sin on his body on the tree
the living water came to quench our thirst
this is Jesus filled by his spirit is He
Bringing with him the living bread of life
eat of this bread fully satisfied in God's word
looking after his sheep Jesus the good shepherd
caring and loving them like a shepherd's herd
This Jesus is the resurrection and life
defeated death rising up from the grave
the way, truth and the life Jesus the only means
salvations only route for God's mighty to save
Isaiah speaks of the branch of the Lord
being beautifully glorious as Christ truly is
John spoke in Revelation of bright morning star
revealed in Jesus the saviour whatever our crisis
So, Jesus, many names shows his godly character
displaying many attributes so very fine
being one co-equal with his father and spirit
truly most blessed redeemer forever mine
