He embraced humiliation
He embraced humiliation
from the cradle to the grave
for all the sins of humankind
his life he freely gave
walked the lonely dusty road
no place to call his home
leppers, peasants, measly women
flocked for healing e'er he did roam
His disciples among the most despised
tax collectors, smelly fishermen
listened as the master spoke
of things to come and when
He lived not a Kingly life
though a crown is upon his head
preferred companions shunned and scorned
chose to die in agony instead
It's hard to believe it happened true
yet he kneeled afore them washed their dust
taught us the depth of humility
that to enter heaven it be a must
So why do we run from embarresment
he showed us to how to endure
The praise and glory we seek here and now
is naught but an empty lure!
