From the recording Bethlehem
A new holiday song. Christ, according to Paul's letter to the Philippians, 'being in the form of God, though not something to be seized to be equal to God, but emptied Himself, having taken the form of a servant, made in the likeness of men.'

Lyrics
[Verse]
God wrapped Himself
In frail innocence
Seed of sin absent
Though temptation would call
Taking weakest form
He became the lowly
[Break]
[Chorus]
Humbled Christ came
Humility He showed
Now all glory on Him bestow!
Now all glory on Him bestow!
[Bridge]
The plan pronounced,
Since man's lips ate fruit,
With Eve he chose death,
Rather than give reproof
They hid from Mercy,
And each took up an excuse.
But the seed from her,
Who has no seed,
Brings the restoration,
God promised them.
So here was this bundle,
Come down from Heaven.
[Chorus]
Humbled Christ came
Humility He showed
Now all glory On Him bestow!
Now all glory On Him bestow!
[Verse]
Wrapped with flesh of death,
He who would die,
Only for a breath.
Humanity to redeem,
Becoming a curse for us,
To break the same.
[Break]
[Chorus]
Humbled Christ came
Humility He showed
Now all glory On Him bestow!
Now all glory On Him bestow!
[Outro]
The Redeemer has come,
It was written in the books,
By prophets and poets of old,
The heart of the Father,
Restorer of all,
His love now being told.
Bestow on Him the glory!
Bestow on Him all glory!
[End]
