a humble birth, a humble death

At the end, as at the beginning
lowly, humble
our king, Messiah
the least, the last
a humble birth, a humble death
from the stable to the cross

Beaten, flogged and spit upon
going to the cross
taking on our stain
offering his hands, his feet
suffering for us, in our place
Christ ending alone, humble
our king, the lamb.
