The Way of Christ

LYRICS
[Verse 1]

When I think I’m standing tall,  
Your word quietly asks another question.

Who did I notice today?

Who did I overlook?

It’s easier to defend my place  
than to step aside  
and make room for someone else.

Then You remind me  
what greatness looked like.

[Pre-Chorus]

Not a louder voice.

Not a higher seat.

But the life of Jesus.

[Chorus]

You came down,  
down into our dust.

Never letting go  
of who You are.

You went low  
to bring us near.

This is the way.

This is the way of Christ.

[Verse 2]

You never clung  
to what was already Yours.

Nothing had to be proved.

Nothing had to be protected.

The hands that shaped the stars  
learnt tired feet  
and ordinary days.

The Lord of all  
became the servant of all.

[Pre-Chorus]

Love did not lose  
when it chose humility.

[Chorus]

You came down,  
down into our dust.

Never letting go  
of who You are.

You went low  
to bring us near.

This is the way.

This is the way of Christ.

[Bridge]

One day  
every argument will end.

Every name  
lifted high by this world  
will fall silent.

Every knee will bend.

Every tongue will confess

Jesus Christ is Lord,

to the glory  
of God the Father.

The road that led to the cross  
was never defeat.

It was always  
the way of the King.

[Final Chorus]

You came down,  
down into our dust.

Never letting go  
of who You are.

You went low  
to bring us near.

This is the way.

This is the way of Christ.

[Outro]

So teach my heart  
the mind of Christ.

Lift my eyes  
to notice others.

Teach these hands  
to give away.

May the shape of my life  
tell the story  
of Yours.

Amen.
