Fulfillment

Fulfillment of the Word

Greater than those opposed to Him
Unthwarted by their hate
He stood with truth and dignity
Calling out their fate

Their legalistic righteousness
Impressed Him not at all
Their grand interpretations
Immuned them to His call

His message so simplistic
Their hardened hearts recoiled
They plotted to be rid of Him
Their anger fully boiled

Knowing well their evil plans
He showed no signs of fear
Continuing on His ministry
To bring Jehovah near

He spoke with true authority
Not heard of then or since
His truth exposing stubborn hearts
Their wounded egos winced

He was and is the King of Kings
Creator of all things
The Alpha and Omega
His Name all heaven sings

He came to earth a lowly man
Determined to draw near
All men whose hearts were seeking
Eternity with fear

He calmed the seas and stilled the storm
And bid the captor cease
His victory over death and grave
Bequeathed us our release

We're free to live to please Him
We're free to love again
We're free to humbly serve Him
We're free from guilt and sin

He gave to us all that we need
And freed us from the rest
So legal laws would not restrain
Or keep us from His best

All glory to our Jesus
His Name may each one tell
For He is God Eternal
With Him our soul is well

We need no more the rules of man
We need no law or creed
For in Him dwells the Godhead
His Word is all we need.
