From His Lofty Throne

The word come down
descended to flesh
from his lofty throne
laid in a manger bed

Brought low, to the earth
God walking as man
humbling himself
becoming the lamb

Giving all he was
going to the cross
paying all for us
such an awesome cost

Responding we do
not because we must
offering ourselves
at the foot of your cross
