Eternal Word that Became Flesh

Eternal Word that became flesh

Condescending in the Creche

Glory limited by choice

Wrath bearer with an infant’s voice.

Our unrighteousness to overcome

Where sin’s wages devastated men

To become a holy ransom

And His righteousness would cover our sins.

The suffering you embraced

Priceless blood in the cup of grace

Poured out at the altar

Conqueror, overcomer

Raised to glory forever

Nevermore to falter.

All the holy ways of God

Are steadfast love and faithfulness.

All the holy ways of God

Are steadfast love and faithfulness.

All the holy ways of God

Are steadfast love and faithfulness.

All the holy ways of God

Are steadfast love and faithfulness.

So stop and rejoice and remember

Reflecting purposefully

The theme of hope is on our hearts

In eager expectation to see

HE is our treasure and our greatest good

Grace is yours, grace is yours

The spirit of God in the people of Your Book

Serving you in what we preach

Things into which angels long to look.

All the holy ways of God

Are steadfast love and faithfulness.

All the holy ways of God

Are steadfast love and faithfulness.

All the holy ways of God

Are steadfast love and faithfulness.

All the holy ways of God

Are steadfast love and faithfulness.
