Jesus, our example
Of all that we should be,
God the Son and Son of Man,
Was tempted just as we;
Yet to sin He ne’er gave in
But had the victory.
Reviled by enemies,
He reviled not in return
But spoke the truth in love
That to Him hearts might turn,
Accepting from His hand
Forgiveness they didn’t earn.
For our sins Christ paid the price,
In our place, in courts He stood,
Hung on the tree to die,
Shedding His own precious blood,
A sacrifice for all,
Saving us to do good.
