Today's song, "Lead Me to the Cross" reminds us that God took on human flesh.You were as, I tempted and trialed, human Word became flesh, bore my sin and
death Now You're risen, yeah
"Word became flesh." God left His nice comfy heavenly clouds and infinite, beautiful light. He came to the earth in the form of a baby into a Middle Eastern lower class family. They called him Jesus, which means "to save."
Philippians 2:6-8 puts it this way (the Message)
He had equal status with God but didn't think so much of himself that he had to cling to the advantages of that status no matter what. Not at all. When the time came, he set aside the privileges of deity and took on the status of a slave, became human! Having become human, he stayed human. It was an incredibly humbling process. He didn't claim special privileges. Instead, he lived a selfless, obedient life and then died a selfless, obedient death—and the worst kind of death at that—a crucifixion.
Hillsong United rightly sing us into worship of this amazing act of God.
And lead me to the cross where Your love poured out
And bring me to my knees, Lord, I lay me down
And rid me of myself, I belong to You
Oh lead me, oh, lead me, lead me to Your heart
Lead me to Your heart
Lead me to Your heart
Lead me to Your heart
