The Best He Had
When our God saw the need of manHe did not say "Too bad!"
To implement His Loving Plan
He sent the Best He had.
No inefficient anyone,
Or some reluctant lad,
He sent His Own Beloved Son,
The Very Best He had.
And in a lowly manger bed
The Holy Son of God
Laid down His human infant head -
From Heaven to this sod.
When Jesus needy people met
He helped to make them glad;
Healed the sick, the hungry fed -
He gave the best He had.
No quitter was our Saviour,
He did not retreat one inch;
He gave His all upon the Cross -
From pain He did not flinch.
For us He shed the Blood of Life
Because we all were bad.
Now we can have Salvation
For He gave us all He had.
And when my life is through some day,
I hope I'll not be sad.
To Jesus I would like to say:
I gave You the Best I had!
