Christ My Lord

The Story Behind the Song

This song was my first ballad. It was written simply as an expression of my faith in the Lord. He continues to demonstrate his love every day just by being who he is. John Putnam delivers a great, heartfelt lead vocal on this song. I know that this song was a favorite of his and I think he did a tremendous job at getting the message across.

The Lyrics

Thank you, God, for everything
that you've ever done
especially for the sacrificing 
of your only son.
I know sometimes it seems like
I don't care at all.
But how could I forget that without
your son I would fall.

Chorus: Because he's Jesus, Christ my Lord.
Jesus, Christ my Lord.

He bled and died upon the cruel
cross of Calvary.
Those who killed him didn't know
he had set them free.
Sometimes we take for granted
the love shared by the son
but I know that someday because of him
the victory will be won.

Because he's Jesus, Christ my Lord.
All because he's Jesus, Christ my Lord.
Because he's Jesus, Christ my Lord.
All because he's Jesus, Christ my Lord.
