Jesus Christ-Saviour, Priest and soon-coming King


Beautiful Saviour died on a tree;
Heaven’s perfect Ransom
For sinners like me…

Grace so strong,
Love so free;
Lion of Judah, Lamb of Mercy…

As you hung on Calvary’s Cross
My sins to bear;
Not nails of steel, but Love kept You there…

Rising triumphant;
You won the victor’s crown
The grave could not hold the Matchless One!

Ever-living Conquering Son!
Eternal salvation for faithful believers won;
Interceding for us, Oh Perfect High Priest,
Preparing our place at the Heavenly Feast…

Soon to return as Reigning King,
The faithful will joyfully shout and sing!
From the clouds of glory, on a white steed you ride
Coming to claim Your waiting Bride…

Mansions of glory for the saints prepared;
For those You have loved
From the foundation of the world…

I love You Jesus!
Can’t wait to see You return…


This poem was inspired by Rev 19:11-16

"And I saw heaven opened, and behold a white horse; and he that sat upon him was called Faithful and True, and in righteousness he doth judge and make war. His eyes were as a flame of fire, and on his head were many crowns; and he had a name written, that no man knew, but he himself. And he was clothed with a vesture dipped in blood: and his name is called The Word of God. And the armies which were in heaven followed him upon white horses, clothed in fine linen, white and clean. And out of his mouth goeth a sharp sword, that with it he should smite the nations: and he shall rule them with a rod of iron: and he treadeth the winepress of the fierceness and wrath of Almighty God. And he hath on his vesture and on his thigh a name written, KING OF KINGS, AND LORD OF LORDS." -Rev 19:11-16
