I found this sheet music a couple of weeks ago and have kept the lyrics and melody in my heart all of this time. I can't help but share it at this special Easter time. I played it through and looked at the lyrics and only then did I bother to look at who wrote them (the words at least). Then the tears started to fall and they haven't stopped! If I can find a copy of the music for you to listen to I will post it but until then here are the lyrics:
This is the Christ
Text by James E Faust and Jan Pinborough
Mucis by Michael F. Moody
They heard His voice, a voice so mild;
It pierced them through and made their souls to quake;
They saw Him come, a man in white,
The Savior who had suffered for their sake.
They felt the wounds in hands and side,
And each could testify: This is the Christ;
This is the Christ, the holy Son of God,
Our Savior, Lord, Redeemer of mankind.
This is the Christ, the healer or our souls
Who ransomed us with love divine.
I read His words, the words He prayed
While bearing sorrow in Gethsemane;
I feel His love, the price He paid
How many drops of blood were spilled for me?
With saints of old in jouyful cry
I too can testify: This is the Christ;
This is the Christ, the holy Son of God,
Our Savior, Lord, Redeemer of mankind
This is the Christ, the healer of our souls
Who ransomed us with love divine.
