God took on human flesh

Emptied of power
yet remaining fully God
God took on human flesh
walking here with us

Living, growing,
working as a man
called to Jordan
to fulfill his destiny

Serving in mission
to teach his people love
to share the good news
God’s kingdom come

Healing the sick
casting demons out
walking toward Jerusalem
faithful to God’s call

Going to the temple courts
before the law of man
standing in the breach for us
going to the cross

God took on human flesh
God felt pain in our place
the pure unblemished lamb
became sin and died for us
