He stepped out of glory

He stepped out of glory And put on the lowly. And life’s very Author A creature became. Despised and forsaken, Afflicted with sorrow, From infinite splendor To the likeness of shame. |

He chose to be humbled, He chose limitation, He chose to be finite, He chose to be man. God’s unfathomed purpose Found substance in Jesus; A two-natured being— The unique God-man. |

His own shell was broken, Releasing His glory. This life-impartation Produced many grains. The Firstborn rejoices With His many brothers; An incorporation— Divine and human. |

We cannot but love Him, Our lovely Forerunner. His shame was our vict’ry, His anguish our joy. The children of judgement He brought into glory. The millions of God-men Forever rejoice. |

And life's very Author became a creature. A creature. Unbelievable. Our God would leave His splendor to become our lovely forerunner.
