God of the paradox
Lion and lamb
You came as a servant
But hold the world in your hand

Through your death you bring life
At such terrible cost
The Shepherd who searches
For all who are lost

They tried to take your life
But you willingly laid it down
To make a new beginning
For these humans that you love

You carried our sorrows
You felt every one
Paid the price, bore the pain
For all that’s been done

You made a way
For hope to arise
In those who’d been buried
By the enemy’s lies

Messiah, Redeemer
Creator and Friend
You hung in our place
Now we live again.

Thank you.
