Every knee – v2

Every knee,
When history is over,
What the end has come,
Will bow before Christ.
 
Every knee
The word of scripture
The promise of God
Will Proclaim the Christ.
 
Every knee,
Not just believers,
Shall bow before,
The risen Christ.

Choosing to Become Human – v2

Christ, choosing to become human,
descending as a humble piece of clay,
walking with our brothers, our sisters
the disciples, the saints long before us,
sharing His message, the love of God.
 
Living a life, as we do, mortal,
but offering us a better way
in submission, following the Master,
even to the cross, in obedience,
drinking the cup of His destiny
so that we may find our way
across the gap, the chasms,
our free will keeping us,
from the love of God.
 
Christ made himself mortal,
The King become a Servant,
so we would see the light
our path, through the darkness,
settling into our heavenly home…

Choosing to become clay – v3

Giving up His clothes, His body,
of shimmering light, of heaven,
Letting go of eternity, immortality;
Donning the flesh of humanity,
Choosing to become mortal clay.
 
Christ descending to life, a baby,
to the lowly manger, to the stable,
Walking these dusty streets with us;
Leaving the courts of heaven
for the earth here below.
 
Though Christ is God, the Word,
He emptied Himself, in love,
Feeling our pain, our mortality;
Walking as a Servant of God
humbly to earth He came…

I gave my back to those who struck me – v2

Christ could sing the Servant Song,
for He lived out the verses,
the pain he suffered
the humiliation God faced
in the Passion, on the cross.
 
Christ was fully human
the torture caused him pain
yet he submitted fully
drinking every drop
of the cup of sorrows, our shame.
 
He gave his all unto God
submitting his human will to God;
He gave his back to those who struck him
He was our Lamb, our Sacrifice,
going to our cross.

entering the world, purposefully – v2


Christ was not timid, a victim
but a victor, triumphant
taking risks, consciously
entering the world, purposefully
not holding anything back

Such is our call, our purpose
the whisper of the Spirit
to live out our calling, our mission
confident, boldly,
while we walk this earth

We are not to see our glass as half-empty
the challenges overwhelming
we are to be sure of our calling
we are to live our lives boldly
at the calling of the Christ

a humble king – 2 – v2


A humble king, a Messiah,
fulfilling prophecy;
Entering the city
riding, on a young colt

Surveying the Temple
the house of God;
Retreating for comfort
their friendship, their home
