Man and Mediator

"God our Savior... will have all men to be saved, and come to the knowledge of the truth. For there is one God, and one Mediator between God and men, the Man Christ Jesus, who gave Himself a ransom for all, to be testified in due time" (1 Timothy 2:3-6).

God our Savior came to earth;
The Lord and our Creator
Became a Man by humble birth
To be our Mediator.

Humanity became depraved;
God loved us just the same,
And so that sinners might be saved,
He bore our sin and shame.

What a Savior! What a plan
Has brought to us salvation!
There is one God, and just one Man
That offers mediation.

O Lord, You gave Yourself for all;
What more, then, could You do?
Though all humanity You call,
The souls who come are few!

So as we lift our hearts in prayer
And draw near to Your throne,
Lord, help us boldly to declare
And make the Gospel known.
