When he appeared in human form, he humbled himself in obedience to God and died a criminal's death on a cross. Therefore, God elevated him to the place of highest honor and gave him the name above all other names, that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow...and every tongue confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.
Ephesians 2:7-11 NIV
High and lifted up
He took my sins away.
but not in exaltation
'twas grief that ruled the day.
Hanging from the cross
high and lifted up
humiliated, bruised, defeated
'twas evil that did erupt.
High and lifted up
He died on the cross that day
hope seemed lost forever
as low in the grave He lay.
Death could not keep Him
in the deep, darkness of the earth
in power He arose from the dead
promising believers spiritual birth.
High and lifted up
He will return here one fine day
Gathering His children to Him
'Tis joy will conquer that day!
