A to L - Acrostic of Jesus Song 1
[Intro]
This is The Acrostic of Jesus: A Rhyming Christology for Kids based on the book
Let's go through the alphabet and talk about the Lord
Yo

[Verse 1]
ABLE to rescue with the power to save
Christ can redeem sinners who are bound as a slave
Jesus helps kids who don't know how to behave
He can even raise the dead who are down in the grave
BREAD OF LIFE from Heaven, that's what Jesus gives
He gives us Himself, we live 'cause Jesus lives
Bread for our souls, not just for our tummies
Without Jesus, we're dead like Egyptian mummies
CHRIST means Messiah, God's Anointed One
The Spirit poured upon Him as God's appointed Son
By Christ our King, we're saved from our sins
He sits on David's throne, yo, He reigns and He wins
DOOR of the sheepfold, Jesus is the way in
For all the wanderin' sheep who were strayin'
As the door to the Kingdom, He's the only entrance
Any can go in through faith and repentance

[Chorus]
Let's rhyme the Acrostic of Jesus together
To help you to love Him, so He is your treasure
We'll read it, rap it, or sing it, it's fun
'Til Jesus comes back and His Kingdom has come
[Verse 2]
EVERLASTING, Jesus has no beginning or end
He was always with the Father before the plan to descend
So He needed nothing before He came to earth
He was happy in Heaven before His famous birth
FAITHFUL, because Jesus keeps every promise
He can't lie, we don't have to doubt like Thomas
His resurrection proves every promise is true
Especially the one to be the God of me and you
GOD, fully divine, that's who Jesus is
He knows all things and He always sees us, kids
He's also fully human, since born of a virgin
So Jesus is the God-Man, two natures, one person
HUMBLE means selfless, He didn't serve Himself
He laid aside His glory and His eternal wealth
Although He is God, holy, holy, holy
To make us His own, He made Himself lowly
Although He is holy and He hates all our sin
Jesus lowered Himself just to make us His kin
He humbled Himself, even to death on a tree
Jesus died for sinners who are wretched like me

[Chorus]
Let's rhyme the Acrostic of Jesus together
To help you to love Him, so He is your treasure
We'll read it, rap it, or sing it, it's fun
'Til Jesus comes back and His Kingdom has come
[Verse 3]
IMMANUEL in Hebrew means "God with us"
He'll be with us forever, we haven't got to fuss
If you abide in Him, then He'll abide in you
He'll give His Holy Spirit to dwell inside you, too
JESUS means He will save us from our nasty sin
Over its guilt and power, He has to win
So when you hear "Jesus", think "God's salvation"
Dying and rising to be His new creation
KING Jesus, He is the ruler of His Kingdom
God made Adam to be a king with dominion
But since Adam sinned, death and Satan reigned instead
'Til God sent Jesus to crush the Serpent's head
LIGHT of the World, 'cause He shines in the darkness
To overcome sin, He broke through our hardness
He gives us new eyes, no longer blinded by evil
Now the Light of the World shines through His people

[Chorus]
Let's rhyme the Acrostic of Jesus together
To help you to love Him, so He is your treasure
We'll read it, rap it, or sing it, it's fun
'Til Jesus comes back and His Kingdom has come

[Outro]
Glory to the Lord Jesus Christ
God the Son, the Second Person of the Trinity
All praise to the God-Man
So that was Song 1: A to L
Stay tuned for Song 2: M to R
Acrostic of Jesus, y'all
Grace and peace
