Selfless – v2

In Christ’s love for us

His faithfulness to God;

Selfless, to the point of death

even death on the cross

How he came in human flesh

God becoming fully man;

Christ walking the way of this earth

yet righteousness, complete

Offering Himself for us

following the Master’s will;

Christ taking on the sins of man

a worthy sacrifice to God

Dying that we may live

unburdened by our sin;

Christ rising from the tomb, the grave

that we would have new life with Him
