Mans Greatest Need
O friend of mine, do not forget
The greatest need of man,
Worth more than health or fame or wealth
Or any man made plan.
Eternal life--the gift of God--
No man can earn can buy;
Obtained by grace, through faith alone,
His life that cannot die.
There is no hope apart from Christ;
HE is the only way.
No righteousness of man will do,
Whatever man may say.
We have to face God's holy Word,
And that Word is the truth;
Be sure this Word of God declares
That Jesus is the Truth.
The ways of earth are full of death,
Of turmoil, war and strife;
But in the Lord alone is found
The Way, the Truth, the Life!
That all have sinned we can't deny;
Admit the fact, and heed
The gift of God in Christ alone
Provided for man's need.
By Edward L. Crane
