as he loved us



as he loved us
before the cross
descending from heaven
emptied of deity
made the stuff of clay
as he loved us
sharing God’s love
teaching, healing
preparing the way
as he loved us
dying, suffering,
bearing our shame
going to the cross
as he loved us
forgiving, praying for us
asking for God’s blessing
on his dying day
