God's Humility

There’s nothing like, Lord, Your humility,
compelled by love, to go from best to least,
to empty Godliness to be like me,
then let Yourself be hurt worse than a beast.

From there so low You raised us up on high,
the ones whose sins had caused You all Your pain,
from love, forgiving us if we but try,
then letting us with You forever reign.

What humbleness do You want us to show?
To recognize Your true reality,
that we obey You and resist the foe,
that we believe and pray on humble knee?

Lord, let me prove my love by what I do,
not worship me, but humbly worship You.
