DISTINCTIVE

The Just stands at an unjust throne,
Accused by sinners who disown
    The Man who is their King -
The cry ”Behold the Man!” makes known
    That Jesus is distinctive.

Three men bore crucifixion’s shame -
Of One alone could men exclaim
    That He did naught amiss -
Myriads for whom Christ died proclaim
    That Jesus is distinctive.

Many had lain within the grave,
But One Man death could not enslave
    Despite its mighty power;
We know, whom Jesus died to save,
    That Jesus is distinctive.

One Man sits now at God’s right hand
By His own right and God’s command
    To be God’s great delight.
Saints witness as their hearts expand
    That Jesus is distinctive.

Now we await the moment when
Jesus our Lord will come again
    And we shall see His face;
We’ll sing as in His presence then
    That Jesus is distinctive.
