Poems

Because of Him


by

T.H. Everingham

Jesus my Savior bought my soul
In blood and pain He paid in full
He sacrificed his life for me
That I might live eternally.

Because of Him we too shall rise as
Redeemed souls in our Father's eyes

He suffered lashes, prodding spears
Braved cursing tongues and heartless jeers
Though pierced with nails and raised up high
Forgave all who came to watch Him die.

Because of Him we too shall rise as
Redeemed souls in our Father's eyes.

He chose to be a sacrifice
That we may have eternal life
And that gift was granted everyone
When He told His Father "It is done!"

Because of Him we too shall rise as
Redeemed souls in our Father's eyes

Now His tale is told around the world
Of the empty tomb and shroud unfurled.
Of His promise we too shall ascend
And He will be with us until the end.

Because of Him we too shall rise as
Redeemed souls in our Father's eyes
