Christ Died for the Father

Christ is the model for us
how to walk the pious life
never straying from the path
the path God had for him
Teaching us about God
how to walk humbly, with him
showing his great love for all of us

He is the Messiah, the Son
choosing to submit to the cross
Coming down from heaven
to pay our awful cost
Christ died for God
to heal the breach
to set God’s people free

Christ died for the Father
who wants relationship with us
yet we tore the breach
estranging ourselves from Him
Christ died to set us free
to bring us back to God
giving God his life
