I don’t need a PhD
In religion or theology
To drink of the sweet mystery
Of the God who died and rose for me.

I don’t need high society’s pedigree
Or a two thousand year old family tree
Nor an earthly king’s edict or man’s decree
To know who I am and was meant to be.

What I need is to know that the penalty
For my sin is no longer in front of me.
Paid in full it was dealt with at Calvary
And I now have a heavenly destiny.

For Christ has defeated the enemy
By His death He has won complete victory
That nothing and no one can take from me
Praise the Lord, Christ is mine for eternity!
