862 The Incarnate God Is Most Lovable
Verse 1
After God became flesh, living life among mankind,
He saw man’s depravity, the situation of their life.
God in the flesh deeply felt man’s helplessness,
how pitiful they are, the sad state they’re in.
Chorus
God gained more compassion
for the human condition,
and more concern for His followers
from His instincts in the flesh.
Verse 2
In God’s heart, those He wants to manage and save
mean the most to Him; He values them above all else.
Great price He’s paid; rebellion and hurt He’s endured.
But He won’t cast man out, relentless in His work,
with no regrets, no complaints.
Chorus
God gained more compassion for the human condition,
and more concern for His followers from His instincts.
God gained more compassion for the human condition,
and more concern for His followers
from His instincts in the flesh.
