Lyrics
JESUS IS MY HERO
Words and Music by Mark S. Crocker
VS 1
I want to tell you about a man--
He's a super hero friend to me!
And I'm hoping by the time you hear the end of this song.
That you will positively agree.
That even though He didn't come from planets far
And never came from outer space,
He brought with Him a plan to save the world from sin
And landed on this earth with grace.
CH
Jesus is my hero!
A super faithful friend who cares.
Jesus is my hero!
Just call on Him and He'll be there.
No magic words or numbers do you need to learn,
He'll come to you, no matter where.
He's the only Way, the Truth, the life from above.
Just call on Him in simple prayer.
For Jesus is my hero!
VS 2
So strange the way that God would choose to send my friend,
As a baby in a manger cold.
No cape would he wear, only swaddling cloths
For His mother with the babe to hold.
Unlike the Hulk he grew to be a gentle man;
His strength was in the things He'd do.
No sword to carry nor a magic wand,
His Word: the only Sword for you!
CH
Jesus is my hero!
A super faithful friend who cares.
Jesus is my hero!
Just call on Him and He'll be there.
No magic word or numbers do you need to learn,
He'll come to you, no matter where.
He's the only Way, the Truth, the life from above.
Just call on Him in simple prayer.
'Cause Jesus is my hero!

You know the super heroes that are fake and never die,
They never had the gift of grace.
But Jesus, He was real and He chose to die for us,
A cross of shame He chose to face.
He died upon that cross to save us from our sins.
The tomb would give Him up in three.
No magic was there in escaping from His death.
He did it all for you and me.
CH
Oh, Jesus is my hero!
A faithful friend who really cares.
Jesus is my hero!
Just call on Him and He'll be there.
No magic word or numbers do you need to learn,
He'll come to you, no matter where.
He's the only Way, the Truth, the life from above.
Just call on Him in simple prayer.
TAG
For Jesus is my hero!
Jesus is my hero!
Yes Jesus is my hero!
He can be your hero!
Let Jesus be your hero!
Let Jesus be your hero!
He can be your hero!
Jesus is my hero!
