Divinity
Steps down,
Becoming like us.
He assumes a face and a heartbeat,
Coming to die.
Humility
Submits even to death,
Claiming the cup of sin
Though no part was His.
Gracious compassion
Coming to die.
Trinity
Divorces for our sakes.
The Father turns away
As the Son goes hellwards
To scour the furthest corner
And finish His task.
The power of death and the grave
Coming to die.
Humanity
Gets the chance to start over,
The plain and the ugly made beautiful.
Our deepest stains
And darkest passions
Wiped away.
A new beginning.
The worst of us
Coming to die.
Calamity
To our pride
Our dreams aren’t strong enough
So He gives us His.
And we find life
And the way we’re meant to be
When all we are
Gets laid at His feet.
Ourselves
Coming to die.
