BEHOLD THE MAN
BEHOLD THE MAN
What is His name?
His name is the same
the same is His name
Higher than height,
deeper than depth,
sovereign over
every length breadth
That bountiful name:
Life given bread.
That powerful name;
Spirit reviving breath.
That wonderful name,
came from heaven,
entered earth_
Sheepgated virgin birth.
The Most High King
born in Bethlehem,
hidden in Egypt.
Jesus Christ of Nazareth.
The Most High Priest;
in temple Jerusalem,
River Jordan baptism,
tempted in wilderness.
By the Sea Galilee:
the Son of God,
the Son of Man,
the Son of God_
amongst men;
turning fishermen_
into fishers of men
Healing sick, raising dead;
Good all He did_
World benefactor.
Worst malefactor
as such condemned
King on the Cross:
Crown thorn head,
ox whip torn flesh,
side spear pierced
Nailed hands feet_
still on till
hell, death, grave;
He defeat.
He is risen,
forever living,
giver of Life everlasting
To God the Father
ascending,
Promise of the Father
descending:
Holy Spirit outpouring;
believing, receiving:
occupying_
till His second coming.
THE KING OF GLORY
Holier than holiest:
the same is His name;
His mane is the same_
What is His name?
