We all have quite often heard it said,
Believe in Jesus, to Heaven we’ll go,
But so many people still have doubts,
Why it’s necessary they want to know.
Well the answer’s really quite simple,
The basic issue comes down to our sin,
Due to a corrupt and imperfect status,
A righteous God simply can’t let us in.
Only by the Blood of a Lamb unblemished,
Could our imperfections be washed clean,
And thus Jesus sacrificed His own life,
He’s our Defense Attorney and Go-Between.
