"THE SUFFICIENT SAVIOR"
Tune: "Come Thou Fount" p. 17
Jesus, what a glorious Savior, For poor Adam's wretched race;
Though He had His Father's favor, Jesus took the sinner's place.
See Him living as a servant, God in pure humanity!
Can you look on such a Savior, Say, "He's not enough for me!"?
See Him as He walks to Calv'ry, Falls beneath the heavy beam,
See Him pouring out His Spirit, All His loved ones to redeem.
Hear Him cry, "I am forsaken!" See His soul's deep agony.
Sinner, do not be mistaken, Say, "He is enough for me!"
Will you now your heart still harden? Are you yet so blind with sin?
Go, then, now to Joseph's garden, To Christ's tomb, and look within.
In His death Christ was the winner, See the stone rolled from the door.
It is empty! Oh, dear sinner, Do you still need something more?
Do your thoughts still shift and water? Look to heav'n and see the throne.
Seated on it is the Savior, Heaven's power is all His own.
He will do all of His pleasure, None can stay His sov'reignty.
Can you not now say, dear sinner, "Jesus is enough for me!"
"This hymn was written in response to one of the prevailing errors of the church from which most of the members came. To that church, it is presumption to be assured of one's salvation, but considered virtuous to think one's self so sinful that he is outside the scope of grace. My point in the hymn is that Christ is a enough of a Savior to remedy cases even as bad as your," – Joe Terrell
