Each line of the poem is a juxtaposition of the Lord Jesus Christ's life on this earth as the Son of man and His Sovereignty as the Son of God.
The Creator became the creation
He chose a virgin womb to be born
It's something beyond our imagination
How the Emmanuel became a child forlorn
The Divine Architect was born in a manger,
The Beginning and the End, His life was brief
With no place to lay His head, like a stranger
The Saviour of the world was hung like a thief
The Bread of Life once was hungry for a meal
The Righteous Lord was unjustly tried
The Light of the world's last hours were a dark deal
The Truth, accused by witnesses who lied
The High Priest became the sacrificial Lamb
Wounded to heal us, His life was taken,
Blamed to pardon us, He remained dumb
The Son of God, by His Father forsaken,
The Lion of Judah and Lamb of God is He
The Door, He was sealed inside the cave
The Resurrection and the Life, died for you and me
The Chief Cornerstone was buried in the grave
The True Vine gave Himself for His branches
The Good Shepherd died to show us the Way
The Author and Finisher of our faith is Jesus
He vanquished death and is alive today.
