Jesus is the truth and the light we are seeking in our lives.

Lyrics

Jesus Son of God
By John R. Wood and Mark E. Ellis

1. I started on a journey so very long ago
Trying to find peace of mind I'd never really known.
I sought a destination that would fill a gaping need.
Wanting answers absolute pushed me to proceed.

2. And I walked a thousand miles till my feet began to bleed
Trying out each option, from poverty to greed.
But then I met this stranger when I'd given up the game.
He offered me His hand in peace then told me His name.

Ch. His name was Jesus, Jesus, son of God

3. He was not unlike an angel in His flowing royal robe.
He told me all His stories, from Genesis to Job.
I said, "Words are just instruments that beguile and deceive.
There's nothing left that's genuine, so why should I believe."

4. But there was honesty in His handshake and wisdom in His look
He smiled a smile of centuries then handed me a book
He said, "Son, I've never failed you. That's all I have for proof.
Dear child, you keep the Bible, for in it is the truth."

Ch. The truth is Jesus. Jesus, son of God

Br. He said, "I was the sacrifice that absolved you of your sins.
It was I who made the miracles when I came in mortal skin.
It was I who walked on water, turned the water into wine,
And in your hour of darkness my guiding light will always shine."

Ch. The light of Jesus. Jesus, son of God.
Believe in Jesus. Jesus, son of God
