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?
