Against all intuition,
there’s a King that chose
a crown that bleeds,
and a God who wore
the frailness of humanity.
Against all expectation,
men scoffed and spurned
and crucified their Maker,
but it’s for these He died,
the wretch, the fool, the sinner.
CHORUS
I AM, the Word made flesh,
Your ways are higher than mine,
Your love is better than life.
We forsake all other gods,
it’s You alone we glorify.
Against all explanation,
He trampled over death,
broke the grip of the grave
and undid condemnation
for the bride He came to save.
Against all hesitation,
we tread the Savior’s path,
count all our treasures loss
to comprehend Your holiness
and marvel at the cross.
BRIDGE
Lord of light, I’m undeserving
of Your steadfast love.
God of grace, I’m so unworthy
but Your righteousness is enough.
CHORUS
I AM, the Word made flesh,
Your ways are higher than mine,
Your love is better than life.
We forsake all other gods,
it’s You alone we glorify.
He made him who knew no sin to be sin on our behalf, so that we might become the righteousness of God in Him. – 2 Corinthians 5:21

Precious thoughts worth sharing as we Christians observe what it cost our Savior to redeem our lives from the pit, clothe us in His righteousness, and call us His family. By His precious blood we can stand before the Almighty God of the Universe and call Him Father! Blessings as you reflect on how much it cost Him to purchase your rescue this Easter!
