174 Only God Incarnate Can Completely Save Man
Verse 1
God comes to save mankind not through Spirit or as Spirit,
whom none can see or touch, who can’t be approached by man.
If God saved man as Spirit and not a man of creation,
none could get His salvation, yes, no one could be saved.
Chorus
God becomes a created man, in the flesh He puts His word.
So He can impart His word into all who follow Him.
So man can hear and see and receive His word.
Through this man can be truly saved from his sin.
Verse 2
If God was not incarnate, no man of flesh could be saved,
and no one could receive God’s great salvation.
If God’s Spirit worked among man, they would all be smitten,
or taken captive by Satan, for they cannot touch God’s Spirit.
Chorus
God becomes a created man, in the flesh He puts His word.
So He can impart His word into all who follow Him.
So man can hear and see and receive His word.
Through this man can be truly saved from his sin.
Verse 3
Man receives salvation not from prayers to heaven,
but from God’s incarnation, for they are all of flesh.
They can’t see or approach the Spirit of God.
Only God incarnate is the One who they can associate with.
Pre-chorus
Through Him, they understand all truth and get full salvation.
Chorus
God becomes a created man, in the flesh He puts His word.
So He can impart His word into all who follow Him.
So man can hear and see and receive His word.
Through this man can be truly saved from his sin,
truly saved from his sin.
