Lyrics

Let your mind­set be the same
As that of Je­sus Christ;
Though in ve­ry na­ture God,
He did not cling to His rights.

Refrain

He be­came a man,
In hu­mil­ity,
Was obe­di­ent un­to death,
And Lord of all will be.

He made no­thing of Him­self,
Took on a serv­ant’s form;
Found in like­ness as a man,
On the cross He died for­lorn.

Refrain

Therefore God ex­alt­ed Christ
Up to the high­est place,
Gave the name ab­ove all names;
All His shame, He did erase.

Refrain

One day at the name of Christ
All men will bow their knee.
Those in Heav­en, on the earth,
And be­neath, their Lord will see.

Refrain

Every tongue will then con­fess
That Je­sus Christ is Lord.
He will be ex­alt­ed e’er,
To the glo­ry of our God.
