Jesus Saves    

The Devil seeks to burn Him up
      In fire of hell below
Where we are cast when we drink cup
     Of sin and death we know.

But He has never sinned with us
     When one of us became,
So Devil can’t bind Him in truss
     Of death—He overcomes.

The Devil howls when He breaks free–
     With sword of cross He smites–
And unlocks door we plainly see;
     God’s Son has won the fight

Now we’re set free to open door,
     Step through and leave our sin,
For death can’t live in spirits poor;
     We can begin again.

The air beyond His empty tomb
     From heaven we now breathe.
His grave becomes our earthly womb;
     In new life we’re conceived.

No death or sin on other side
     Of cross and empty grave,
So we can now in life abide,
     For Jesus all us saves.
