Michael P. Johnson - OUR RIGHTEOUSNESS ABOVE

There’s no one like the living Christ
The Lamb who chose to die
Who’s sinless life God sacrificed
To bring His flock on high

This is The Christ who walked the earth
The Father’s begotten Son
As man conceived for virgin birth
That Heaven’s will be done

This is the man who died to sin
The God who suffered pain
Who came death’s keys and life to win
That man be born again

Obedient to His bitter end
Glorious on The Tree95
His gospel for the world to send
To set His people free

There’s no one like The One who died
The Truth made flesh and bone
Who reigns in glory magnified
As King on Heaven’s throne

The Seed of Virtue multiplied
Author of Heaven’s plan
Who hears! Who sees, Who’s nought denied
Knowing the thoughts of man

Humble, faithful, gentle and strong
Courageous Prince divine
Serving Teaching righting each wrong
Shedding His blood like wine

Unselfish is His life to see
Selfless too His love
Who was! Who is and is to be?
Our righteousness above

Michael P. Johnson
