When they laid my king to rest it was my shame He wore to bed
And it's the only part of Him the Father did not resurrect
Now in my Father's land there are no lesser men
Nobody barely wins or only just gets in
Cause Jesus never fell in love
With open eyes He walked directly to the cross
He knew exactly what I cost and He still went
Like a body –close, connected, and known– so You've called us and so we are
Like a child –nurtured, protected adored– somehow You name us and so we are
Like a bride –cherished, adorned and waited for– so intimate with every title that Your love affords
My God, You never fell in love
With open eyes You chose to die upon the cross
You knew exactly what I cost
I was worthless but You made me worth it
I was a slave content to beg beneath Your table
But You took me in and made me a son
When I finally arrive and my prodigal eyes behold
Jesus who once wore my shame, adorned in majesty on His throne
I will stand and belong wearing His righteousness as my clothes
Here it is, all corrected
