One by One

One by one, one by one
Jesus, the Father’s Beloved Son
One by one, one by one
From the beginning said: Thy will be done

Jesus Christ came to earth to fulfill God’s plan
For He alone could atone as Savior of man
The Lord blessed and beckoned them: Come unto me
And willingly sacrificed to set us free

One by one, one by one
He suffered for us and victory won
One by one, one by one
We marvel at all His love has done
One by one

One by one, one by one
Multitudes gathered and saw Him come
One by one, one by one
Each heard a voice declare: Behold My Son

Jesus Christ came and stood in the midst of them
They fell to the earth in great reverence for Him
The Lord bid: Arise, and come forth unto me
With hands they did feel and with eyes they did see

One by one, one by one
Each knew and bore record, He is our Lord
One by one, one by one
They cried Hosanna with one accord
One by one

One by one, one by one
Christ looked around Him and saw their tears
One by one, one by one
In His compassion, He calmed their fears

Jesus Christ healed each one brought forth unto Him
Then He blessed each precious child and prayed for them
The angels descended from heaven above
Encircling those little ones; each felt His love

One by one, one by one
He intercedes for each daughter and son
One by one, one by one
Strength from His grace gives us power to become
One by one
