God Became a Man by Joel Hunsberger — Lyrics
1. From the first of time God provided a plan:
He would send His Son, bring redemption to man.
To a humble birth place in a manger bed,
came a King who will wear every crown of the world
on His beautiful head, and the crown of suffring,
crown of thorns was the first that He willingly wore.
God became a Man! Oh the mystery
that his love could plan such a birth;
God became a Man, left His glory
walked among the men here on earth;
but for me He has suff’red, for me He bled and died
on a lonely cross He carried my sin and shame.
God became a Man when Jesus came.
2. (Oh the) Love of God for a sinner like me,
that my heart can know
Whom mine eyes cannot see;
for to me He’s given riches from His store
in the person of ]esus, the Christ!
He’s my King, and my Saviour and Lord.
But for me He suffer'd, shed his blood,
so that I could be pardoned by God.
