Will I Still Believe

Will I Still Believe

Will I still believe
If Jesus did not die on the cross
And free us from sin or we're forever lost?
Will I still believe
If Jesus did not rise from the dead
To show us even death can be conquered?

I know the crucifixion and resurrection are both essential
For us to obtain life eternal
But in Him I have become to believe more
As His life as you and me I explore
How human he was as he walked on the same ground with dirt
Just like everyone on this earth.

That He was born in swaddling clothes in a lowly manger
Grew up and played like you and me as a toddler
Even got His mother Mary upset and worried as a pre-teenager
When at twelve years old he wandered
In a Jerusalem temple and with older learned priests He bantered.

I find it more impressive
By the examples He was to give
That he was like you and me 
At the same time He was God almighty
Who did miracles and taught things some did not understand
Who to the poor, the sick and the sinners He was always at hand
And to those astray gave mercy and forgiveness
Not heartless judgement and meanness
Who also got really mad at those in the temple selling
Disappointed when His own disciples were doubting
Who by the devil was tempted
Whose commands He rejected 
Oh was so sad at Gethsemane praying in the garden
Of what He knew would be done
Even more broken hearted while on the cross almost in vain 
He pleaded to God the father to pass the pain.

All the humanness he showed humanity
Proved more to me His divinity.
What is the use of a God that is so almighty
If He had no wisdom and humility
To show us all how to live
By the examples as a man He could give?
