"Wherefore God also hath highly exalted him, and given him a name which is above every name: that at the name of Jesus every knee shall bow, of things in heaven, and things in earth, and things under the earth; And that every tongue shall confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father (Philippians 2:9 – 11).”
Yes, Jesus was a teacher, the greatest of them all,
And, yes, he was a Rabbi, counselor and sage,
Yes, he was a carpenter, prophet, a Man of Sorrows,
And though he was a great healer, He was so much more.
He was the God-Man, sent from heaven, God's own Son,
He was the Redeemer of mankind, Emmanuel, God with us.
He was the Savior of the world, Creator, Lord of Lords,
And, though He was a raiser of the dead, He was so much more.
Jesus, the Way, the Truth, the Life, Holy Sovereign,
Sent for every man, boy, girl and woman,
Jesus, the Christ, blessed Controller and Upholder of all,
Intercessor, Lord Jehovah, the Highest, very God.
And, though He was a teacher, the greatest of them all,
Yes, a Rabbi, counselor, and sage,
And, though he was a prophet, a Man of Sorrows,
And though he was a great healer, He was so much more.
