Though Thou art God, most glorious, high,
Thou in the flesh to us came nigh,
A lowly man become thereby;
Lord, I remember Thee!

Glory divine was put away
Under the tent of flesh to stay,
No outward beauty to display;

I appreciate that the Lord is the one who came down, who stooped and lowered Himself to be a man, even a root out of the dry ground. He was willing to suffer a such a humiliation to accomplish the Father's will. Outwardly it was a shame, but this shame has now become our glory. We praise Him for His wonderful life
Phil 2:7-9
But emptied Himself, taking the form of a slave, becoming in the likeness of men; And being found in fashion as a man, He humbled Himself, becoming obedient even unto death, and that the death of a cross.
Therefore also God highly exalted Him and bestowed on Him the name which is above every name,

Lord, You are God the most glorious, high!! but You laid aside Your glory and splendor and became a lowly man, without outward beauty. You came to do the Father's will, even died on the cross to fill my place!! oh Lord, I remember Thee! Lord, I worship Thee!!

Isaiah 53:2 says, "For He grew up before Him like a tender shoot, And like a root out of parched ground; He has no stately form or majesty That we should look upon Him, Nor appearance that we should be attracted to Him." This portion of Isaiah speaks in a detailed way of the incarnated Christ living His earthly life as a humble, lowly, Person who was emptied of all His outward splendor that He might live a life as a pattern for us to follow in His steps. We need to believe into this One that we might receive His very life into us, that the pattern now in us, would be in reality not an imitation of His life, but His life living out in us in a fine and detailed way. May we earnestly come to this meek and lowly One (Matthew 11:28-30) Who is so abased yet so attractive, coming that we may let Him live again in us for His own purpose and glory. Let us lose all of our self glory forever

Praise the Lord, You are my pattern of emptying, humility, obedience, submission... I need to have this pattern infused into me.
For thirty-three and a half years the Lord lived a perfect life. He never claimed His right over anything or anyone. He divested Himself of His position in every situation even through death. He was humble! Oh Lord I worship Thee!

The Son willingly emptied Himself to become a created man as the representation of submission to authority.
