A God too close for comfort – v4

A God too close for comfort

alive, washing our feet

kneeling before us as a servant

beyond my comprehension

dying on the cross

buried in the grave

His life poured out

as was his blood

dying, in the tomb

rising in God’s name

rising to heaven

to a safer distance

seated upon the throne

our Savior in God’s kingdom
