Sovereign Grace Music - The Gospel Was Promised Lyrics

Verse 1
The gospel was promised by sages and prophets
The Scriptures spoke of a Son
Descendant of David and yet uncreated
Clothed in our flesh He would come
Predestined to seek us, He took on our weakness
And died our death on the cross
But just as was spoken, the grave could not hold Him
The glorious Son of God

Chorus
His name is Jesus
His name is Jesus
His name is Jesus Christ, our Lord

Verse 2
We're loved and forgiven, compelled by a vision
To see His mercy proclaimed
Announcing salvation to every nation
All for the sake of His name
We're no longer strangers, for Jesus, our Savior
Has come to make us His own
We're called to be holy and now we live only
To make His glory known
