Jesus was born,
That we might be born twice.
He became poor,
That we might posses wealth.
He became homeless,
That we might have a mansion
He was stripped,
That we might always have clothes
He was forsaken,
That we always should have friends
He was bound,
That we might have perfect liberty
He was saddened,
That we might have full joy
He descended,
That we should be lifted up
He became a servant,
That we might be His sons forever
He took our sins as His own,
That we should share His righteousness
He died,
That we should never taste eternal death
He will come down,
That we might go up
All of this - that He might display in us
the riches of His grace
and so we can dwell with God in Heavens.
