Christ became the lamb

the unblemished sacrifice

an offering on our behalf

from His own hands

Christ became humble

accepting the cup

an offering on our behalf

to save all of us.

as heir to David

as God made flesh

Christ became our priest

our intercessor

Only Christ could bring a sacrifice

that would be worthy

to heal our brokenness

to enter the Holy of Holies

God’s Word Made Flesh – v2

Christ descended from Heaven

so we would understand;

God in the flesh

every word God spoke.

God’s Word Made Flesh

come to show us God;

Come to show us Love

alive here with us.

Jesus was born to us

so we may understand;

God in the flesh,

the living Word of God.

His body stretched

hanging in agony

from the nails, the spikes,

that pierced His hands.

His body wracked

in painful breathing

hanging on the cross

to finish His mission.
