Heidelberg Q18 - Who is this God-man?

Q18 reveals the answer we've been craving as we read through the Catechism for the past several weeks...
Q18. Who then is that Mediator, who is in one person both very God, and a real righteous man? A: Our Lord Jesus Christ: "who of God is made unto us wisdom, and righteousness, and sanctification, and redemption." Scripture Proofs: 1John 5:20, Rom.9:5, Rom.8:3, Gal.4:4, Isa.9:6, Jer.23:6, Mal.3:1, Luke 1:42, Luke 2:6-7, Rom.1:3, Rom.9:5, Philip.2:7, Heb.2:14, Heb.2:16-17, Heb.4:15, Isa.53:9, Isa.53:11, Jer.23:5, Luke 1:35, John 8:46, Heb.4:15, Heb.7:26, 1 Pet.1:19, 1 Pet.2:22, 1 Pet.3:18, 1 Tim.2:5, Heb.2:9, Matt.1:23, 1 Tim.3:16, Luke 2:11, 1 Cor.1:30

This reminds me of the lyrics to the song King of Glory, by Third Day...
Who is this King of Glory that pursues me with his love
And haunts me with each hearing of His softly spoken words
My conscience, a reminder of forgiveness that I need
Who is this King of Glory who offers it to me
Who is this King of angels, O blessed Prince of Peace
Revealing things of Heaven and all its mysteries
My spirit's ever longing for His grace in which to stand
Who's this King of glory, Son of God and son of man
His name is Jesus, precious Jesus
The Lord Almighty, the King of my heart
The King of Glory
Who is this King of Glory with strength and majesty
And wisdom beyond measure, the gracious King of kings
the Lord of Earth and Heaven, the Creator of all things
Who is this King of Glory, He's everything to me
The Lord of Earth and Heaven, the Creator of all things
He is the King of glory, He's everything to me.
