Justify the Crucify


Philippians 2:9-11

God has exalted Christ to the highest place,
Giving Him the name above all in His grace;
Hearing His name every knee should bow,
In Heaven and on earth their faith to vow;
Every tongue confess that Jesus is Lord,
To the glory of the Father in one accord.
Exalting Jesus Christ by praising His name,
Confessing His glory while you proclaim;
It is not insulting rather bringing respect,
To the Father and the Son of introspect.
Glory to Jesus Christ, lifting up my voice,
For it is only proper to honor and rejoice;
So grateful God raised Him from the dead,
To suffer on a cross as blood was shed;
It was His sacrifice; He died for my sin,
So generous in letting life again to begin;
And yet to conquer death a victory won,
Even so some people would rather shun;
This is why each Christian must justify,
Reasons for why Christ had to crucify.
