To Know His Power

Revealed by the Spirit
the essence of Christ, love
to know his power
God made man
walking humbly on the earth

Emptying himself completely
Filled by God’s grace
pouring out his love
at the foot of the cross

Dying in our place
the sacrifice, the lamb
washing away our sin
that we may rise in him

Teaching us through the Spirit
more of his story to unfold
our choices in this world
being his brethren
the sheep of his flock
