If Jesus Is Lord

  1. If Jesus Is Lord -:-- / -:--

If Jesus is Lord, if Jesus is King,
If he’s all powerful and made everything,
Then he deserves our thanks and praise,
Love, and our service all of our days.

If Jesus is truth, if Jesus is love,
If he’s the image of God from above,
If he is all God has to say,
Let us obey him. Don’t turn away.

Come serve the Lord, help to spread his Kingdom.
Take up your cross and receive his freedom.
Come lose your life; then you will find it.
Come serve the Lord and live out the truth from day to day.
He’s the truth; he’s the way to God the father
And in the world for which he gave his life.

[So live out his love and live out his care;
Open your eyes to great need everywhere.
So at the last may he not say,
“I never knew you”, and turn you away.

Lord, you are our life, so help us to share
Your great compassion and love everywhere.
Give us, O Lord, your eyes to see,
People you’ve made as you’d have them be.]

He’s true God from true God, the light from the Light,
Piercing the darkness of earth’s blackest night;
Born of a virgin, God made man,
Crucified, buried,  risen again.

And seated at God’s right hand now on high,
He comes to judge all who live all who die;
And his dominion shall extend
Over all people and know no end.

Come serve the Lord, help to spread his Kingdom.
Take up your cross and receive his freedom.
Come lose your life; then you will find it.
Come serve the Lord and live out his truth from day to day.
He’s the truth; he’s the way to God the father
And in the world for which he gave his life.

[Have mercy, Lord, on your failing servants.
Inspire us Lord with your great compassion.
All that we have, you’ve freely given.
Take us, O Lord; may we live the truth from day to day.
You’re the truth, you’re the way to God the father
And in the world for which you gave your life.]
