The Very Least of Us
by Lordsong

Album: Day Three

Why would God's own Son
Lay aside His crown
To take the sandaled feet of man
And walk on common ground
How could a King leave His throne
To be betrayed by His own
Why did He choose so willingly
To take on our humanity

So that He'd know how it feels
To be broken
By the sin His guiltless hands
Would never touch
So much more than a sacrifice
Jesus paid the highest price
He took our shame
He bore our pain
The greatest King loved us so much
He became the very least of us

He would have never known
Until His flesh revealed
What it's like to lose a friend
Or how temptation feels
He would never know the sting of death
Until He drew His last breath
Why did He choose so willingly
To take our place at Calvary

So that He'd know how it feels
To be broken
By the sin His guiltless hands
Would never touch
So much more than a sacrifice
Jesus paid the highest price
He took our shame
He bore our pain
The greatest King loved us so much
He became the very least of us

From the highest throne of heaven
To the lowest depths of hell
He made Himself an offering
With a hammer and nail

So that He'd know how it feels
(So that Jesus knows)
To be broken
By the sin His guiltless hands
Would never touch
So much more than a sacrifice
Jesus paid the highest price
He took our shame
He bore our pain
The greatest King loved us so much
He became the very least of us
He became the very least of us
