Sir, We Would See

"Sir, we would see Jesus... Jesus answered, The hour is come, that the Son of Man should be glorified.... For this cause came I unto this hour" (John 12:21-27).

Sir, we would see Jesus, and then make Him known,
For no one else frees us, but Jesus us alone.
We'd follow His path from heaven above;
To save us from wrath, He came down in love.

Sir, we would see Jesus, and look on His face,
To know how He sees us with marvelous grace.
We'd follow His trail that led to the cross:
We see Him prevail; He came for this cause.

Sir, we would see Jesus, Whom death could not hold.
Let His passion seize us, and let us be bold.
We'd follow His Spirit, and go forth to tell,
To all who will hear it, that Christ saves from hell.
