From Philippians 2:5-7:  “Let the same mind be in you that was in Christ Jesus, who, though He existed in the form of God, did not regard equality with God as something to be grasped, but emptied Himself, taking the form of a slave, assuming human likeness.”

Chained to sin’s wilderness

Faith missing what matters

Detached from Father’s love

Like sheep, mankind scatters

 

Father responds with love

Relationship desired

Son of God empties self

Divine plan now hard-wired

 

Born in human likeness

Messiah shares His love

Father’s trusted guidance

Promised grace from above

 

Given name of Jesus

Mercy’s love now descends

Servant becomes Shepherd

Father’s own heart transcends

 

Calvary’s death vanquished

Jesus forever reigns

Every knee shall now bend

Father’s love breaks each chain

 

From Philippians 2:9-11:  “Therefore God exalted him even more highly and gave him the name that is above every other name, so that at the name given to Jesus every knee should bend, in heaven and on earth and under the earth, and every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.”
