A tale of two conquerors
Jesus and Alexander died at thirty-three!
One lived and died for self; one died for you and me.
The Greek died on a throne; Christ died on a cross;
One’s life a triumph seemed; the other but a loss.
One led vast armies forth, the other walked alone;
One shed a whole world’s blood; the other gave His own.
One lived and died for self; one died for you and me.
The Greek died on a throne; Christ died on a cross;
One’s life a triumph seemed; the other but a loss.
One led vast armies forth, the other walked alone;
One shed a whole world’s blood; the other gave His own.
One won the world in life and lost it all in death;
The other lost His life, to win a whole world’s faith.
The other lost His life, to win a whole world’s faith.
Jesus and Alexander died at thirty-three.
One died in Babylon, and one on Calvary.
One gained all for himself; and one Himself gave.
One died to conquer, and one the world to save.
One died in Babylon, and one on Calvary.
One gained all for himself; and one Himself gave.
One died to conquer, and one the world to save.
The one made himself God; and God made Himself less;
The one lived but to blast; the other but to bless.
The one lived but to blast; the other but to bless.
When died the Greek, forever fell his throne of swords;
But Jesus died to live forever, King of Kings and Lord of Lords.
But Jesus died to live forever, King of Kings and Lord of Lords.
Jesus and Alexander died at thirty-three!
The Greek made all men slaves; Christ made all men free!
One built a throne on blood; the other built on love.
The one was born of earth; the other from above.
The Greek made all men slaves; Christ made all men free!
One built a throne on blood; the other built on love.
The one was born of earth; the other from above.
One conquered all the earth, to lose all earth and heaven;
The other gave up all, that all to Him be given.
The Greek forever died; Christ forever lives!
He loses all who gets, and wins all things who gives!
The other gave up all, that all to Him be given.
The Greek forever died; Christ forever lives!
He loses all who gets, and wins all things who gives!
