The Blessing of Jesus

O hallelujah for the blessing of knowing Jesus,
Who died on a cross so He could redeem us,
By His death we're declared righteous and whole,
Cleansed way down in the depths of our souls,
He is our Savior, Lord and our only Master,
He is there in peace and all of life's disasters,
He is tranquility when the storms blast and rages,
He is our sure foundation - the Rock of all Ages,
He is there to comfort in our times of grief,
He is there to strengthen our faith in unbelief,
Jesus is our joy and giver of life abundantly,
 We praise His glorious name more redundantly,
He is strong when our strength becomes weak,
He is the treasure we relentlessly pursue and seek,
He is hope when shadows fall in nights of weeping,
He is faithful when shadows of old age come creeping,
Jesus is more - much more than our words will ever say,
Jesus is our truth, our life, and will always be our way,
Knowing Jesus is of surpassing value beyond all compare,
Jesus is our blessing and may we live His name to declare.
