Selfless

In his love for us
his faithfulness to God
Selfless, to his death
even death on the cross

How he came in human flesh
God becoming fully man
walking the way of this earth
yet righteousness, complete

Offering himself for us
following the master’s will
taking on the sins of man
a worthy sacrifice to God

Dying that we may live
unburdened by our sin
rising from the tomb, the grave
that we would have new life with him
