He Chose

He Chose

Enthroned in glory! 
Wrapped in light! 
With angels praising Him
day and night!

Holding the world
in the palm of His hand. 
He came down to walk
paths of dust and sand.

He veiled His glory. 
He chose to be weak. 
He chose to be humble. 
He chose to be meek.

He chose to be human,
hungry, and cold. 
He chose to work a job,
and do what He was told.

He chose to submit
to the Father’s will. 
He chose to carry the cross
up Calvary’s hill.

He chose to take our place. 
He chose to die,
to pay the price for our sin
that was so very high!

He laid down His life. 
He died in our place. 
He ransomed for God
the whole human race.

He didn’t have to …
but He chose anyway. 
He chose to bring back
everyone gone astray.

He chose because of Love. 
He chose because of Grace. 
He chose so that we
could be with Him face-to-face.

Thank you Jesus!
for choosing me;
for paying the price
so that I can be free.

My Jesus!  My Lord! 
Wrapped in light! 
I’ll worship and praise you! 
Til’ I see Your face bright!
