From a manger to a cross
And all humility between;
Our King of kings and Lord of lords
No honour to be seen.
A quiet life in Nazareth
To learn His Father’s ways;
No evidence of showmanship
Just meekness all His days.
A lowly gentle servant
Who washed so many feet,
A pilgrim, a sojourner
Who bore the day’s great heat.
A life of pain and grief
As rejection paved His days;
The seeds from words that fell
As they mocked God’s mighty ways.
But He conquered darts of darkness
As His body bore the cross,
And His blood was freely shed
To compensate for man’s great loss.
From humility to greatness
As He rose and lives again;
He’s our perfect illustration
Our Jesus, Lord and God Amen!

“If anyone wishes to come after Me, he must deny himself, and take up his cross and follow Me.” Mark 8:34
