Of us you came and died and rose
To lift our eyes above,
Your truth and beauty to disclose
On earth from heaven’s love.
We cannot fathom what it’s like
To give so great a gift:
Surrender to the Cross’ height
And with you all us lift.
You say I will not equal grasp
My place at Father’s side;
I’ll enter world that will not last,
With Adam’s kin abide.
Not able we to keep you here
In world of sin and death;
Instead you take us where You were
On Holy Spirit’s breath.
And now with gift received from You
We in your world will live:
To all mankind, not just a few,
Your priceless gift we’ll give.
PROCLAIMING TRUTH!
