I know no other Jesus
Than He who died for me;
The Saviour of lost sinners,
The Christ of Calvary.
I know no “ideal” Jesus
That human minds invent;
The only Jesus I know
Is whom the Father sent.
That human christs could save me
Is inadmissible;
My Jesus is the image
Of God invisible.
My Christ is God incarnate
And of the virgin born;
He left a crown of glory
To wear the plaited thorn.
The Infant of the manger,
The village Carpenter,
The Teacher sent from heaven
To men to minister;
The true historic Jesus,
Who died and rose again,
He only is the Jesus,
That I proclaim to men.
James M. Gray
