Such a Holy Savior (Original)

Hey everyone!

Merry Christmas, belated. (Well...not unless you're celebrating the 12 days.)

On the 3rd day of Christmas, my Savior gave to me...
A song telling how He's holy!

I wrote the lyrics of this song while having a friend that is a secular humanist in mind. The gift of Jesus the Messiah only works because of His holiness. That's substitutional atonement...and it only works for every single person that "believes on" (i.e. "trusts in") Him because He is divine; otherwise, it would only be sufficient for a single individual.

Those 2 things are so intertwined... You can't even have the former without the latter...for no one has lived a perfect life outside Him. For we have all have sinned and fallen short of the glory of God (Romans 3:23).

That's why only such a holy Savior can save, my friend...

Such a Holy Savior (Lyrics)

How can you stand there saying that none are good?
That all of these deeds my eternity has withstood?
How can you say the life of just one man
Is enough to make me right with God again?

Because he’s such a holy Savior…
He chose us for this labor…
And only such a holy Savior could save, my friend.

How can you say that I still lack something
When I am an ethical, moral human being?
How can you ask me to give up all I own
And leave my family…the only home I’ve ever known?

Because he’s such a holy Savior...
He chose us for this labor...
And only such a holy Savior could save, my friend.
The baby in the manger is God in the flesh.
We follow into danger the great commission
Of the holy Savior… Such a holy Savior...

We have found a Savior sent by God’s own hand
In His love, God became a man.
We have found a Savior lifted from the land.
Flesh and blood, God is now the lamb.

Such a holy Savior
Chose us for this labor…
And only such a holy Savior could save, my friend.
The baby in the manger is God as a man.
We follow into danger the great commission
Of the holy Savior… Such a holy Savior.
