It Had To Be Jesus
Why did it have to be Jesus,
to die so that I could be free?
Were there no others as willing,
And able to also love me?
They searched throughout for a Savior,
Then Heaven stood up to cheer;
As the one who had already loved me,
Stepped forward, to volunteer.
The scene at Golgotha was shocking.
Seraphim covered their eyes.
The choirs ’round the throne hushed their singing.
Arch angels trembled and cried.
The earth quaked, its foundations shaken,
Deep darkness shrouded the skies.
God loved a lost generation,
As the spotless one suffered and died.
It had to be Jesus,
No other savior would do.
It had to be Jesus,
No friend could e’er be so true.
It had to be Jesus,
No lamb was ever so meek.
It had to be Jesus,
Oh what a Savior is He. ©
Why Jesus, and not a great angel, or some other way?
Why did it have to be Jesus?

I'm glad I saw the ad for your book. It drew me to your site, and now to this poem. It's always so good to touch base with yet another follower of Jesus.
This is a wonderful, moving poem. Truly, it had to be Jesus--no one else was without sin. Thank You, Jesus!

Hello Lamar, Today you were one of the featured authors who appeared on my screen. I saw that you loved Jesus, too, so I stopped on by. So true your poem, a great reminder to all, that it had to be Jesus, for no one else was that pure. Thank God, it had to be Jesus, no one else could have reconciled us to the Father.
