In the coming of Jesus
the healing of our Savior
in Love come down
down to the earth
You gave up
abandoned Your power
You chose to suffer
walking as a man
You climbed the cross
the cup in the garden
Gethsemane, Golgotha
the dark cold tomb
God choosing to die
in utter humiliation
the King of the universe
going down to the dead
This is the risen Lord
the God, the Creator,
the Savior, the Spirit
to whom we bow down
This is the Master
whose voice we follow
the Shepherd, our Brother
guiding our trembling steps
