This is Jesus

This is Jesus, a man of grief and pain, knowing rejection 
stricken and afflicted but without blame 
Seated in heaven above, one with the Father, a man of love
But He came 
The father’s son, His only one, becoming flesh, vulnerable - undone 
broken by pain, and my shame
Willingly taking it all 
Dying for me 
The chosen one, in whom God delights 
The bringer of justice, a man of might
He does not crush, He does not quench
He opens dungeons - Has the key
He sets men free
Yes He came
He came - Jesus, the one who takes my sin and dying - broken 
He proclaimed, ’It is finished’ - ’It is done’ 
and rising, bought me back again to the Father
This is Jesus
