From the glorious
splendour of heaven
You came to your
mother's womb,
To live a servant's
life on earth
Your journey - an
empty tomb.
From the adoration
of angels rejoicing,
To a world full of
sin, pain and loss;
A time of mock trial
and scorning!
Your journey - a
cruel wooden cross.
From the fellowship
of Your dear Father
To a people in need
of much pardon.
Such anguish, no
joy, and deep sorrow
Your journey - a
dark, lonely garden.
But rejoice in the
journey of Jesus,
Without it our God
would be hidden;
No salvation, no
peace with the Father!
Rejoice Jesus Christ
is now risen!
Cry out
"Hosanna in the highest!"
For Jesus now sits
on the throne.
His journey of pain
and of sorrow
Was travelled that
He would atone!
Be filled with great
adoration,
For King Jesus rules
all the globe!
He's trodden the
paths of great suffering,
He's travelled the
cold lonely road.
His life brings good
news of salvation,
His death brings us
peace with our God.
Give thanks to the
Son of His Father
For life's weary
road, He has trod!
