"Exalted"

Known before the world;
Seen in future days;
Glimpsed by righteous men;
The Son of God.
Sent as David's heir;
Named an ageless king;
Granted all the earth.
Exalted.

Seen with blinded eyes;
Heard by heedless ears;
Met with wicked hearts;
The Son of God.
Worshipped with contempt;
Crowned with blood and thorns;
Throned upon a cross.
Exalted.

Scorned by those who watched;
Mocked by all the wise;
Loved within belief;
The Son of God.
Born to take my death;
Slain to give me life;
Jesus Son of God.
Exalted.
Exalted.
