Son of God

Son of God,
Son of Man.
Your cause was just, your motives true.
Sent by the Father
with abounding mercy
and love unconditional.

Son of God,
Son of Man
who lived by faith
yet died by human hand-
killed by ones you came to save.

Son of God,
Son of Man
betrayed with a kiss of greed
to those who knew not what they did
when they condemned you.

Son of God,
Son of Man.
Man of many sorrows,
mocked and spat on, beaten and killed… for what?
To buy my healing and my life.

Son of God,
Son of Man
whose blood was shed to cleanse my soul.
Who overcame the grave
and rose again to life eternal.

Son of God,
Son of Man
on whose shoulders rest the government
and who is
yesterday, today and forever

Son of God, Son of Man,
Wonderful Counsellor, Mighty God,
Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace
King of kings, Glorious Redeemer
and forever more
My own, my all
my Lord and Saviour.
