Lyrics

You Put Off Your Glory

Oh Lord Jesus, King of all kings
You stepped down from Your throne to save a man like me
You left your place, the Holy of Holies
And by Your grace set this captive free…

You put off Your glory and put on my shame
You took the stripes that were meant for me and bore my pain
The Son of God became the Son of Man
And the Lion of Judah became the sacrificial Lamb…

Oh Emmanuel, You walked this land
Clothed in truth You became the Rock on which I stand
Worthy of glory, honor and praise
Crucified by the very ones You came to save…

You put off Your glory and put on my shame
You took the stripes that were meant for me and bore my pain
The Son of God became the Son of Man
And the Lion of Judah became the sacrificial Lamb…

Oh Messiah, will I ever understand
The love that it took for God to become a man
Oh my sweet Jesus, forever I will lift You up,
And one day see You face to face
And share the wine of salvation’s cup…

You put off Your glory and put on my shame
You took the stripes that were meant for me and bore my pain
The Son of God became the Son of Man
And the Lion of Judah became the sacrificial Lamb…

The Son of God became the Son of Man
And the Lion of Judah became the sacrificial Lamb …
