Meekness and majesty

Meekness and majesty,

manhood and deity,

in perfect harmony,

the man who is God:

Lord of eternity

dwells in humanity,

kneels in humility

and washes our feet.
      Oh what a mystery,
      meekness and majesty:
      bow down and worship,
      for this is your God,
      this is your God!

Father’s pure radiance,

perfect in innocence,

yet learns obedience

to death on a cross:

suffering to give us life,

conquering through sacrifice;

and, as they crucify,

prays, ‘Father, forgive.’
      Oh, what a mystery....

Wisdom unsearchable,

God the invisible,

Love indestructible

in frailty appears.

Lord of infinity,

stooping so tenderly,

lifts our humanity

to the heights of His throne
      Oh what a mystery,
      meekness and majesty:
      bow down and worship,
      for this is your God,
      this is your God!

      this is your God!
