072 He is Lord (Let the Mind of Christ)
Let the mind of Christ be in me
Let me share His servant heart
Putting other’s needs above me
Even when the choice is hard
Though an equal with the Father
Christ the one and only Son
Freely gave His rights and honor
And became a slave for us
He is Lord
He is Lord
He is risen from the dead
And He is Lord
Every knee shall bow
Every tongue confess
That Jesus Christ is Lord
Humble as a mortal human
Bending even lower still
Dying on a cross He’d carried
He obeyed His Father’s will
Therefore God has now exalted
Jesus over every name
Every tongue will give Him glory
Jesus Christ is Lord they’ll say
For He is Lord
He is Lord
He is risen from the dead
And He is Lord
Every knee shall bow
Every tongue confess
That Jesus Christ is Lord
He is Lord
He is Lord
He is risen from the dead
And He is Lord
Every knee shall bow
Every tongue confess
That Jesus Christ is Lord
Supporting Verses
“Do nothing from selfishness or empty conceit,
but with humility of mind regard one another as more important than yourselves;
do not merely look out for your own personal interests, but also for the interests of others.
Have this attitude in yourselves which was also in Christ Jesus, who, although He existed in the form of God,
did not regard equality with God a thing to be grasped, but emptied Himself, taking the form of a bond-servant,
and being made in the likeness of men. Being found in appearance as a man,
He humbled Himself by becoming obedient to the point of death, even death on a cross.
For this reason also, God highly exalted Him, and bestowed on Him the name which is above every name,
so that at the name of Jesus EVERY KNEE WILL BOW, of those who are in heaven and on earth and under the earth,
and that every tongue will confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.”
Philippians 2:3-11 NASB95
