The Servant King

He loved us even when we forsook Him The King of Kings became lower than all He gave up His glory for flesh So we can give up our flesh for glory He the One Righteous died for all wrong He became cursed so we could be blessed He gave up His Spirit so that we could receive Him And by His stripes we all are healed Because mankind fell, He was raised on the cross He became sin so we could be pure He became weak so we could be strong He came from the Father so we could go to Him He took our troubles so we could have peace He knew our grief so we could have joy He carried our burdens upon that cross So we could lay all our burdens down He brought us from darkness into light From slavery to blessed freedom Once without mercy, now having mercy Not His people, now the people of Yah He gives wisdom to the fools He takes our sorrow, gives us joy Our struggles He will make a victory And gives us beauty for our dust We were once orphans, now his children Once full of grief, now ever rejoicing Once without hope, without salvation Now we have hope in Yeshua, our Savior Once far from Father, but now very close Once sinful, but now He’s our righteousness When we die with Him, then we live He died for me, now I live for Him
