CCS 38 - Who Is This Jesus

Who is this Jesus, whose voice we have heard,
whose actions reveal and illumine God’s word,
whose stories surprising new insights impart,
whose gospel is joy for the humble of heart?
Who is this Jesus, whose light we have seen,
whose shining in splendor turns barren earth green,
whose rising in glory prevails over death,
whose Spirit of wisdom gives beauty and breath?
Who is this Jesus, whose love we have known,
whose hunger and pain were as real as our own,
whose pow’r and compassion are with us to heal,
whose life in abundance we share in this meal?
Jesus is human, our flesh and our blood,
but also the image and fullness of God.
This Jesus is Christ and on him we depend,
our solid-rock center, beginning, and end.
