He who was, He who is, He who shall be
From eternity past, to eternity future
Holy, Holy, Lord God almighty, I AM
Conceived of woman was He
Mystery, Wonder, Unfathomed love
Omnipotent, Omnipresent, Omniscient
Confined, Restricted, to one place bound
Helpless, Dependent, Reliant on man
Helpless infant, Born of mortal woman
Not counting it loss that He was God
Splendour for home, Founded on jewels
Streets paved of gold, clear as glass
A Nazarene, Wanderer, of no fixed abode
Please explain the mystery to me
Why? How can God reduce to this?
Demons rebellious, Devised His demise
By His own, Denied and betrayed
My curse on Him, He cried in pain
Father, I hurt! Let this cup pass
For humanity Son, Drink the cup
Creator, Giver, Sustainer of life
Existent of His own volition
Fully God, yet fully man, God incarnate
On a tree, Cursed, Despised, Forsaken
Helpless hung, no life in Him
In dark tomb lay the Light of the world
‘Twas love drove Him there
Took He my place, forever severed
Wait! Hush! What’s that I hear?
Burst He forth, Eternal life keys jingling!
Who is this that condemns and judges?
Accuser of brethren, Shame on you
Jesus paid it all, I’m free; I’m free
Smile on my face, Head held high
I am His; He is mine, Eternity is sealed.
