The Gospel

Incredible! That God’s spirit should dwell in flesh,

That His son would come to dwell with us,

That from His throne and eternal home,

Christ came to give us righteousness.

Incredible! That as a man,

God experienced the world that we too see

And lived a life of bitter strife

And can relate to you and me.

Incredible! That the blind should see

That paralytics rose to walk,

The deaf were made to hear His voice,

The mute allowed to talk.

Incredible! That some refused

To accept the gift He offered them,

To trade man’s praise for God’s approval

And thus themselves condemned.

Incredible! That Christ should die,

That He who had the right to boast

Was humbled, willing to stand our hurls,

Though in charge of an angelic host.

Incredible! That on that tree,

Hanging far outside the gate,

The sin of you and me were His,

That He became the thing God hates.

Incredible! That, with His death,

The way to life was paved,

That death was slain upon that hill,

That through faith we are saved.

Incredible! That he rose again

To seize His throne in Heaven

And will return one glorious day

To bring His own to Heaven.
