My Jesus, My Saviour

 This is a personal cry of adoration and trust, a declaration that the Savior of the world is also your Savior. It is the heart of the Christian faith made intimate.

Here is a poem of worship from that personal place.

My Jesus, My Saviour

Not a distant, historical figure, Not a abstract,theological rigor. Butmy Jesus. My Saviour. The one who knows my every behavior.

The one who left the throne of grace, To takemy sin, my shame, my place. The one who felt the nails and thorn, For me,forlorn and purpose-torn.

My Saviour, for the debt I owed, Upon the cross,Your blood You showed Was payment full,and now I see The debt is gone,and I am free.

“You are my Savior!” my spirit sings, Beneath the shadow of Your wings. “You are my help and my deliverer.”(Psalm 40:17) In every storm,my steady river.

When doubts arise and fears assail, When my own strength begins to fail, I speak the name that ismine to claim, And whisper,“Jesus,” His holy name.

For You are not just God of all, You hear my personal,desperate call. You aremy Shepherd, I shall not want, You silence every fearful taunt.

My light in darkness, my living bread, Mycertain hope, ahead. Myrock, my fortress, my hiding place, Mysource of everlasting grace.

So let the world its treasures hold, Let other stories be told. I have my Jesus,I have my all, Upon His name,I will call.

My Jesus, my Saviour. There is no other. MyLord, my God, Mybeloved Brother.

The Scripture Behind This Intimacy:

This personal ownership of Jesus as "my" Saviour is rooted in the truth of the gospel:

· It is a confession of faith: “That if you confess with your mouth, ‘Jesus is Lord,’ and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved.” (Romans 10:9). To call Him "my Saviour" is to make that confession personal.

· It is a response to His love: “I have been crucified with Christ and I no longer live, but Christ lives in me. The life I now live in the body, I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave himself for me.” (Galatians 2:20). He gave Himself for you.

· It is a relationship: “I am the good shepherd; I know my sheep and my sheep know me—” (John 10:14). It is a mutual, personal knowing.

To say "My Jesus, My Saviour" is to embrace the most beautiful relationship imaginable—a personal, loving, and eternal connection with the God who made you and redeemed you.
