GOD WEARING SKIN
God wearing skin
Why come down from Your throne
Just to walk the dusty roads
In this world of desperate men
“When I consider Your heavens, the work of Your fingers,
The moon and the stars, which You have ordained,
What is man that You are mindful of him,
And the son of man that You visit him?”
~ Psalm 8:3-4
God wearing skin
Why reach out to the lost
On Your way up to a cross
Just to die for wicked men
“For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life. For God did not send His Son into the world to condemn the world, but that the world through Him might be saved.” ~ John 3:16-17
Crowned by thorns, struck by hands
Beaten, torn, the Son of Man
Walked that road just like a Lamb
All alone, the Great I Am, the Great I Am
“He was oppressed and He was afflicted,
Yet He opened not His mouth;
He was led as a lamb to the slaughter,
And as a sheep before its shearers is silent,
So He opened not His mouth.”
~ Isaiah 53:7
God wearing skin
Hung by nails on a tree
Gave Your life so willingly
To redeem the guilty men
“Christ has redeemed us from the curse of the law, having become a curse for us (for it is written, ‘Cursed is everyone who hangs on a tree’),” ~ Galatians 3:13
Mocking crowds, naked shame
Blood poured down and darkness came
When our guilt on You was laid
Father turned His face away, His face away
“Now from the sixth hour until the ninth hour there was darkness over all the land. And about the ninth hour Jesus cried out with a loud voice, saying, ‘Eli, Eli, lama sabachthani?’ that is, ‘My God, My God, why have You forsaken Me?’” ~ Matthew 27:45-46
God wearing skin
Cried out loud, “It is done!”
Veil was torn when death had come
For the sin of grateful men
“And Jesus cried out with a loud voice, and breathed His last. Then the veil of the temple was torn in two from top to bottom.” ~ Mark 15:37-38
In three days rose again
Heaven’s throne restored to Him
He’ll come to this world of men
Once again, God wearing skin, God wearing skin
“For I delivered to you first of all that which I also received: that Christ died for our sins according to the Scriptures, and that He was buried, and that He rose again the third day according to the Scriptures,” ~ 1 Corinthians 15: 3-4
“Behold, He is coming with clouds, and every eye will see Him, even they who pierced Him. And all the tribes of the earth will mourn because of Him. Even so, Amen. ‘I am the Alpha and the Omega, the Beginning and the End,’ says the Lord, ‘who is and who was and who is to come, the Almighty.’” ~ Revelation 1:7-8
