Verse 1

Incarnation means God’s Spirit becomes flesh.

This means that God Himself becomes flesh.

His work in the flesh is the Spirit’s work

which is realized in and expressed by the flesh.

Verse 2

None except the flesh of God can fulfill

the ministry of the incarnate God.

Only God’s incarnate flesh, this normal humanity,

can express the divine work.

Chorus

The significance of God’s incarnation

is that an ordinary man does God’s work,

that God does His divine work in humanity

so that Satan is vanquished.

Verse 3

By becoming flesh to do His work,

He shows Satan God is flesh, a normal person,

yet He can rule the world in triumph,

can vanquish Satan, redeem, conquer mankind.

Verse 4

It is Satan’s goal to corrupt mankind,

while the work of God is to save mankind.

Satan traps man in a bottomless pit,

while God rescues him from that abyss.

Verse 5

Satan makes all mankind worship it,

while God makes them subject to His dominion.

For He is the Lord of all creation,

yes, He is the Lord of all creation.

Chorus

The significance of God’s incarnation

is that an ordinary man does God’s work,

that God does His divine work in humanity

so that Satan is vanquished.

Bridge

Through God’s two incarnations,

all this work is achieved.

His flesh is, in essence, the union

of humanity and divinity,

and possesses normal humanity.

Chorus

The significance of God’s incarnation

is that an ordinary man does God’s work,

that God does His divine work in humanity

so that Satan is vanquished.
