Lyrics: Even Death On A Cross! by Brooke Ligertwood
Who, being in very nature God
did not consider equality with God something to be
used to His own advantage
Rather, He made Himself nothing
by taking the very nature of a servant
being made in human likeness
And being found in appearance as a man
He humbled Himself
By becoming obedient to death –
even death on a cross!
By becoming obedient to death –
even death on a cross!
Who, being in very nature God
did not consider equality with God something to be
used to His own advantage;
Rather, he made himself nothing
by taking the very nature of a servant
being made in human likeness
And being found in appearance as a man
He humbled Himself
By becoming obedient to death –
even death on a cross!
By becoming obedient to death –
even death on a cross!
even death on a cross!
even death on a cross!
Therefore God exalted him to the highest place
and gave Him the name that is above every name
That at the name of Jesus every knee should bow
in heaven and on earth and under the earth
in heaven and on earth and under the earth
in heaven and on earth and under the earth
in heaven and on earth and under the earth
And every tongue acknowledge that Jesus Christ is Lord, is Lord
And every tongue acknowledge that Jesus Christ is Lord, is Lord
to the glory of God the Father
