For Rowdy Christians Everywhere

His Ministry Was Holiness

  Because no man was found worthy,

  Christ manifested God’s grace.

  Though no man could claim holiness,

  still it pleased God to remember

  and pardon our weakness of soul,

  sending His Son to be our Lord.

  By coming in the flesh, the Lord

  saved all men and made us worthy.

  He shared the struggles of our soul,

  that we in turn might share His grace.

  Christ came that God might remember

  not our sins, but His holiness.

  His ministry was holiness.

  Every miracle proved Him Lord.

  All who met Him would remember

  forever, and call Him worthy.

  All those whom he touched felt God’s grace,

  and found sudden peace in their soul.

  Jesus cared for every lost soul.

  The blind were healed by holiness;

  the deaf ears were opened by grace;

  lame men leaped to follow their Lord;

  old saints had seen none this worthy

  as long as they could remember.

  Christ taught sinners to remember

  God, rich men to think on their soul.

  He told us what things are worthy

  of our lives: love, faith, holiness

  and mercy. In the end, the Lord

  showed all these, with one act of grace.

  The sacrifice of one brought grace

  to all. Let the world remember

  the holy gospel of our Lord:

  with His body, he freed each soul,

  cleansed each heart with his holiness,

  and with his death, proved God worthy.

  Always remember Christ our Lord:

  who lived worthy in holiness,

  and died to bring grace to each soul.
