Behold the Conqueror

poetry:

By Ray Hawkins, Beauty Point

Behold the conqueror!
He comes to gain His throne.
Behold the conqueror!
He comes for His own.
Who is He?
He is the Lord God of Hosts,
Heaven’s warrior Lord.
His name is Jesus,
His word a sword.
He is the Christ,
His glory the cross.
Before Him I surrender,
He is my conqueror! 

Behold the Conqueror!
His scars are from His cross.
Behold the conqueror!
Hear His triumph song.
Who is He?
He is the Saviour, Lord,
Son of God, Son of Man
Immanuel
Pre-eminent One.
He is the Christ.
His emblem the cross.
Before Him I surrender,
He is my conqueror.

Behold the conqueror!
The victory He has won.
Behold the conqueror!
His enemies undone.
Who is He?
The Lamb for sinners slain,
Risen victorious,
All glorious
His righteousness.
He is the Christ.
His power the cross.
Before Him I surrender,
He is my conqueror.
