CHORUS How could You come as a zygote? How could You come as a single cell to this world? I don’t understand But it’s beautiful VERSE 1 How could Infinity Humble Himself to be Trapped in time constrained, confined in flesh So all the world would see You are beautiful CHORUS VERSE 2 How could Infinity Submit His royalty Cloaked in anonymity To manifest His majesty CHORUS VERSE 3 How could Infinity Come live in little me O how can I comprehend this marvelous, master mystery? You are wonderful CHORUS VERSE 2 VERSE 1

VERSE My righteousness must exceed That of the scribes and Pharisees Or I will never ever be in the kingdom of God/heaven for eternity What the Law could not do Weak as it was through my flesh Yahweh did by sending His Son His only Son to taste my death CHORUS Emmanuel Emmanuel God with us, with us You took on flesh You took on flesh Jesus! Jesus! VERSE Lord, You require in my inward part A standard higher than I ever thought Lord, You desire deep inside my heart Your truth and love that I haven’t got, So You provide! CHORUS Emmanuel Emmanuel God with us, with us You took on flesh You took on flesh Jesus! Jesus! BRIDGE Love God Love man I can’t You can! Love God Love man I can’t You can! Love the LORD with all of you Love your neighbor as yourself But I do what I don’t want and not what I want to Who is gonna save me from this body of death? (Matthew 5:20; Romans 8:3-4, John 1:14; Hebrews 2:14-18; 4:14-16; Psalm 51:6)

Born 05:14

Born Born to live What reason to give? Why were we born to live? Made Made for Him To honor His name So we were made for Him But the creature Scorned his Creator The greatest rebellion And his Maker he cursed The sinner Insolent ingrate Turned from his Maker And loved himself first Suppressing the truth with all of his might While loving the darkness and hating the light He died! Born Born to die We ought to ask, “Why? Why was He born to die?” Sent Sent from above The Son of His love Sent from the Father above The Creator Came through a creature The Great Condescension To creation He’d cursed The Savior Suffering Servant Came to the sinner Because He loved first Expressing the truth with all of his might Dispelling the darkness for He was the light And He died! Listen! A babe crying from a manger Listen! A man crying from a cross Behold! God becomes a child The child becomes a man The man becomes sin, dies and rises again So that we could become Born Born again Why should this have been? Why were we born again? Loved Loved and owned To know and be known We have been loved and owned The Creator Lives in His creature We are blessed Because He was cursed Now the creature Loves his Creator We now love Because He loved first Extolling the truth with all of our might Beholding the Savior, our life and our Light Now He lives! Now He lives! Now we live! Now we live!

Why? 03:01

VERSE I don't understand Your ways Beyond my comprehension Or any explanation You are higher than words can say And from what I gather I know I'll never fathom why. CHORUS Why did You come here? You left Your throne above Why? Why? How could You love me When I turned away Your love You took my shame And You gave me Your name VERSE There's one thing I ask of You Let me see Your beauty Please reveal it to me Help me see Your bleeding wounds Let Your love compel me And let Your Spirit help me wonder CHORUS 2 Why did You come here? You left Your throne above Why? Why? How could You love us When we turned away Your love You took our shame And You gave us Your name OUTRO Joy to the world Joy to the world Christ has come

Clifton Boje Bonner Springs, Kansas

Knowing Clifton since we were children, I have seen him go through a myriad of instruments and phases of musical exploration. I have also seen him change as a person. But he has always had this knack to hear and play music with ease and to a level beyond what other people work for. He is a natural artist. He is an instrument. You have to listen to understand. Listening will change you. - JF ... more
