So we could follow

the story of his life
his descending to death
taking on the form of man
becoming human flesh

faithful to the father
to his heavenly plan
going throughout the lad
preaching the good news to man

though he knew what was to come
setting his eyes on Jerusalem
entering in with hosannas
his passion days away

entering the holy of holies
climbing the rugged cross
dying and rising again
so we could follow, as servants,
redeemed, children of God

freed of our sins
because of his life
his living and his dying
his rising from the grave
that we may live in glory
