Lower Than The Angels

Description

Lower than the angels For a little while:
Christ, the Word incarnate, Silent at His trial.
See the Lamb unblemished, Son of righteousness,
Sentenced for the kingship That He dares confess.

Lower than the angels For a little while:
All of His disciples Fled in their denial.
Now the hope of Israel, Heir to David’s throne,
Stumbles to Golgotha, Bleeding and alone.

Lower than the angels For a little while:
Hear the priests and elders Slander and revile,
“Save Yourself, Messiah, And we will believe.”
While the heavens darken And the angels grieve.

Lower than the angels For a little while:
Jesus, crowned with glory, Death can not defile.
Perfect thru His suffering, Now to intercede,
Taught to give us mercy In our time of need.
