Who is He? - Lenten Devotional 18

Years ago I heard this song. It has always been special to me in describing who Jesus is. I was reminded of it this morning in Sunday School when we were to complete the statement "Jesus is ..."

He Is

In Genesis, He's the breath of life

In Esther, He's Mordecai's courage
In Job, the timeless redeemer
In Psalms, He is our morning song

In Proverbs, wisdom's cry

In the Song of Solomon, He is the lover's dream

He is, He is, HE IS!

He is, He is, HE IS!

In Matthew, Mark, Luke and John, He is God, Man, Messiah 
In the book of Acts, He is fire from heaven

In the Revelation, He is King of Kings and Lord of Lords

He is, He is, HE IS!

The prince of peace
The Son of man 
The Lamb of God 
The great I AM

He's the alpha and omega
Our God and our Savior 
He is Jesus Christ the Lord
and when time is no more 
He is, HE IS!
