ONLY JESUS

No one lived as Jesus lived

For He never once demurred

When He knew the Father's will;

Since His joy was to fulfil

All the details of God's word

No one lived as Jesus lived.

No one died as Jesus died

Since, despite the public shame,

He was shown to be God's Son;

And because His work was done

While He glorified God's name

No one died as Jesus died.

No one rose as Jesus rose

Since the glory of God's might

Brought Him scatheless from the grave;

Since He came with power to save

And emerged through His own right

No one rose as Jesus rose.

No one saves as Jesus saves,

For eternity and time,

To the uttermost extent;

Since in graciousness He went

To atone for every crime

No one saves as Jesus saves.

No one loves as Jesus loves

For He laid down His own life,

And He shed His blood for me;

Since He would not go out free

For His Master, children, wife

No one loves as Jesus loves.
