A God too close for comfort – v5

A God too close for comfort
alive, washing our feet,
kneeling before us as a servant
dying on that cross
His life poured out
as was his blood,
dying, in the tomb
buried in the grave
Rising in God’s name
to a safer distance
Christ seated upon the throne
our Savior in God’s kingdom
