YOU NEED THE REAL LORD JESUS

Not 'Jesus the baseball player

   but ‘Jesus Cristo

      your hope-giving Savior

You need the real Lord Jesus

The ‘Jesus Cristo 

   of the Spanish Bible

Giving you life

   and true revival


Owned by 

   no one

Available to 

   everyone 

Giving freely 

   to anyone

Meaning yes 

   you’re the one


Not an icon 

   or a statue 

      in a park 

         or on a wall

Nor a bracelet 

   or a necklace 

      can restore you 

         from your fall


You need salvation’s manifesto

   not some Count from Monte Cristo

The promised Lamb slain 

   and manifested

      to take away the sins of the world

God's Word made flesh

New Life made fresh

Freely given to you all

Who will call in faith upon His Name


You don’t need 

   more fiction 

Nor novelistic 

   apparitions

Or man-made 

   contradictions 

Nor idolatrous 

   ambitions


You need the real Lord Jesus

Loving sinners 

   while hating sin

Creating changes

   deep within

Sanctifying, purifying, justifying 

   the lives of all

      with faith in Him


This is Good News 

   of One Who blesses

Rescuing from the fallen masses

Pulling out of evil’s messes

Dispelling sin’s dark morasses 

   from every spirit 

      that harasses


YOU NEED THE REAL LORD JESUS!
