O He's Worth The Following Poem by Gary James Smith

O He's Worth The Following

O He's worth the following
The One who died for me
No greater example in humankind
That lived so wondrously
Who put aside His own will
To do that of His Father
Remaining steadfast in that purpose
Though Satan wished Him to do other

And bound for death upon that Cross
From love He did not waver
His love endured right to the end
What precious Lord and Saviour
Not one sin, no not one
Was ever laid against Him
And fabrications filled with lies
Determined His retention

Love held Him fast to that Cross
Though angels were at His bidding
He refrained from any heavenly help
For the joy set before Him... Our living!
Sin took on serious recognition
That to it He was not enslaved
A three day victory was disannulled
When Christ rose from the grave

Now death has a hollow ring
To us believers saved
It's penalty fully satisfied
Praise God Lord Jesus saves
And our life forevermore
We live it in the present
Witnessed by the Spirit within
Whom our ascended Lord has sent

Christ in me my hope for glory
What Resurrection power
Yes up from the grave He arose
And is living still this hour
Salvation's offer still up to date
No other foundation so sound
Come now and be reconciled to God
Seek the Lord while He may be found!
