Lyrics

The lyrics are copyright so cannot be reproduced here. But they are currently available on the author's website. A rough outline is:
1  Meekness and majesty, manhood and deity,
.... And washes our feet.

Chorus:O what a mystery,
Meekness and majesty.
Bow down and worship
For this is your God,
This is your God.

2  Father's pure radiance,
.... Prays: 'Father forgive.'

3  Wisdom unsearchable,
..... To the heights of His throne.

KEEP IN CASE ORIGINAL IS REMOVED, BUT DO NOT DISPLAY
Meekness and majesty,
Manhood and Deity,
In perfect harmony,
The Man who is God.
Lord of eternity
Dwells in humanity,
Kneels in humility
And washes our feet.

O what a mystery,
Meekness and majesty.
Bow down and worship
For this is your God,
This is your God.

Father's pure radiance,
Perfect in innocence,
Yet learns obedience
To death on a cross.
Suffering to give us life,
Conquering through sacrifice,
And as they crucify
Prays: 'Father forgive.'

Wisdom unsearchable,
God the invisible,
Love indestructible
In frailty appears.
Lord of infinity,
Stooping so tenderly,
Lifts our humanity
To the heights of His throne.
