What If

What if God was one of us?
Human like you and me
Come to show us how to live
And to set us free

Use your imagination now
Open your heart and take a look
At the kind of dedication
The kind of love that took

To become a baby in a manger
Tiny fingers and toes softly curled
The God of all creation
Humbly entered our world

Totally dependant upon man
HE quietly takes His rest
The great "I Am"
Sleeps peacefully upon His mothers breast

Imagine Him growing up
Or a child with bruised knee
Running home with tears falling
Sobbing woefully " Mommy, mommy"

Imagine how he felt
As mommy makes the pain go away
When she held Him and reassured Him
With just the right things to say

Imagine how He must have sighed
When as a child He would expound
The treasures in His word
None other had found

Imagine Him as a carpenter
Creating things made of wood
Beginning to pursue His purpose
As yet no one understood

Imagine him as a young man
Beginning His lonesome journey toward the cross
Seeking nothing but mans salvation
Counting all else but loss

Imagine Him before the people
Revealing the mystery of God
With no place to call home
Save the earth on which He trod

Imagine Him healing the sick
Raising people from the dead
Imagine the joy of such love
Who would suffer in our stead

Imagine the religious people
Crying in indignation to God above
Hearts so blinded by fear and greed
They couldn't see Him humbly there in love

Imagine the pain He must have felt
When by those He loved He was rejected
Still resolutely setting His heart to save us
In order our hearts might be perfected

Imagine the excruciating pain
As He hung nailed to that tree
Imagine the purity of a love
Groaning" forgive, for they cannot see"

Imagine His overwhelming joy
As He returned to His throne above
Imagine the heavenly celebration
At the triumph of Love

Indeed, a wonderful picture of all that Jesus went through for you and me.

His love went the whole distance and more.

Oh yes i can imagine
That it is really true you see,
That Jesus Christ our Savior
Died for you and me!
And what a glorious tribute indeed!
