THE LORD JESUS

Thus as we see the glory of His love
He comes before us as the risen Man,
The Victor over death, the only Man
To leave the grave in His inherent right
(And in the glory of the Father’s might).
And praising and acknowledging His worth
We worship since in person this is God.
Participating now in what He was not
Yet personally being all He was
This is I AM - come near to us as Man.
And we rejoice to acclaim Him as a Man
Pre-eminent in every scene He enters:
Amid creation, Firstborn of Creation,
In resurrection, Firstborn from the dead,
And with His own Firstborn of many brethren
Surrounded by whose love He is anointed.
