Why did he become human?

Why?
Glorious Son in heavenly kingdom,
willing to become a human –
how? (a miracle of love) – and why?

A perfect person had to die
to pay the debt and penalty,
provide a pardon, amnesty
for foolish mutineers.

So, come for the pardon, amnesty
for contrite mutineers.

What love! of God to send his Son to die
– for who?
What love! of Christ – oh, Jesus draw men’s hearts
to you!
