Even This

This is one of my first songs. Philippians 2 where the 7 steps down that Jesus took are laid out. No matter what we face, Jesus faced even this. Verse 1 [verse] He was with the Father Before the world began Equal in all glory Yet He chose to be a man He stooped into our story And took on brokenness He wore our flesh and bone And bore it as His own Philippians 2:6; John 1:1–2; John 17:5; Hebrews 2:14 Chorus [chorus] Even this — He gave Even this — He bore A servant's hands, a servant's heart Nothing left in store Even this Philippians 2:7–8; Mark 10:45; Isaiah 53:4 Verse 2 [verse] He walked among the weary In a body made of clay Obedient to the Father All the way Down to death and further still To a cross on a hill And the silence of a grave That could not hold Him Philippians 2:8; Hebrews 5:8; 1 Corinthians 15:54–55; Acts 2:24 Chorus [chorus] Even this — He gave Even this — He bore A servant's hands, a servant's heart Nothing left in store Even this Bridge — Quiet, building slowly [bridge] So God raised Him higher Than the heavens can hold And gave Him a name Above all others Every knee will bow down Every tongue will confess That Jesus Christ is Lord — Forevermore Philippians 2:9–11; Ephesians 1:20–21; Isaiah 45:23 Final Chorus / Outro — Gentle, unhurried [outro] Even this — He gave Even this — He bore And now He reigns in glory Forevermore Jesus is Lord Philippians 2:11; Revelation 19:16; Romans 10:9
