The Humanity of Christ

Mode: MP3/MIDI

A unique truth the whole Bible unveils
That our God has put on humanity;
He's both God and man, as the Word reveals;
Hallelujah! until eternity.

Praise the Lord for Christ's humanity!
It's central to God's economy
To produce a divine-human incorporation
Which consummates the New Jerusalem.

The Old Testament portrays Christ as Man,
With four types showing His humanity:
The seed of woman, the seed of Abraham,
The seed of David, the branch of Jesse.
Christ as a Man in His humanity
Visited Abraham, wrestled with Jacob,
Met Joshua as Captain of God's army,
Foretold Samson to be Israel's comfort.
Christ was a Man of sorrows who was slain,
Despised and suffered for our redemption.
According to righteousness He will reign,
There will be enjoyment and protection.
Christ sits on God's throne above the firmament,
Above the territory of Satan.
On God's building did He take measurement,
In midst of Israel, for His possession.
Christ walked among the three friends of Daniel,
In the midst of fire He was with them.
To meet his need, He appeared to Daniel,
He's everything of God's move as a Man.
In their dispersion Christ was with Israel,
Measured J'rusalem for His possession,
As Shoot of David He'll build God's temple,
He'll be a Priest and rule every nation.
As Son of Man with Israel He's involved,
The oneness of Christ with us we enjoy,
He's stock of Israel exalted by God,
Kingdom received, enemies He'll destroy.
Christ as revealed in the New Testament
Is flesh, Son of Man—what an entity!
God's economy has a fulfilment,
All carried out in Christ's humanity.
