Humility
Richard Newton Sherrer 1951 (Easton)
He was in the form of God,
Did not count equality;
A thing to be grasped to laud,
With His spirituality.
He took form of a servant,
Been born the likeness of man;
As being very fervent,
Granted in the Father’s plan.
He humbled in human form,
Obedient unto death;
As the cross had brought the storm,
Crucifixion took His breath.
God highly exalted Christ,
Bestowed on Him above all;
That His life was sacrificed,
For the sins that made us fall.
So that every knee should bow,
In Heaven and here on earth;
Salvation they will endow,
With a chance for a rebirth.
And that every tongue confess,
That Jesus Christ is their Lord;
And the glory of God bless,
Those being in one accord.
