God humbled Himself

God emptied his power
God humbled himself
abandoning his kingdom
to walk as a man

God humbled himself
a slave to the nations
a sacrifice for our sin
on the altar of Golgotha

Submitting himself
the priest in the Temple
offering himself
on the altar of the cross

Suffering, dying
buried for our sake
rising, victorious
to his throne in heaven

God humbled himself
Christ lived out the Passion
as a mortal man
not shutting out the pain

Christ was the Paschal Lamb
given to save us
submitting his body
on the altar of the cross
