A song about finding rest, protection, freedom and peace in Jesus while life is not always easy, and struggles, temptations and hardships continue. Also a look forward to being with Him in heaven and trusting His perfect judgement.
The incarnation is such a mind-blowing and humbling truth – that the Son of God should give up his place of honour with the Father to become God’s servant on earth – all to rescue us. What amazing love that he would lay aside his glory and status and instead choose the road to the cross, suffering for our sake. Jesus, in displaying such humility, glorified God and lifted others up, and these verses from Philippians 2 encourage us to have the same servant attitude as Christ in our lives. because of this supreme humility God has exalted Jesus to the highest place, deserving of all worship, honour and praise.
This song reminds us that the only true place for us to focus first is on our Lord Jesus. Then, when we look at our sin or the broken world, we can have the right response – to receive grace, worship Him and to speak of and share His love.
