about

"Since the children have flesh and blood, he too shared in their humanity so that by his death he might break the power of him who holds the power of death...For this reason he had to be made like them, fully human in every way"

lyrics

you had to have a body
you had to take on flesh
to be made like your brethren
perfect in all respects

you had to have a heartbeat
veins coursing with our blood
for a pulse on all our suffering
to be the sacrifice of love

you know us well
better than we know ourselves
you love us well
it's the one thing i can know above all else

you had to face temptation
like the kinds that tug on all our hearts
but you stood the test as faithful
and you help us overcome

you had to feel emotion
to grieve and yet rejoice
to stand beside a dear friend's tomb
knowing death would be your choice

you know us well
better than we know ourselves
you love us well
it's the one thing i can know above all else
you're the one thing i can know above all else
