Love the intro and melody. Your work is fantastic and I'll be picking up a copy for Christmas My only thought is that pride is only referred by God as a sin, so I get the sentiment, but by nature as God, he couldn't give up something he didn't have. He gave up power and glory and position.
The word “pride” can also mean “one’s own dignity or position”, which would fit here, as we see in the book of Philippians: Php 2:6 Who, BEING IN THE FORM OF GOD (emphasis mine) in the form of God, thought it not robbery to be EQUAL WITH GOD: Php 2:7 But made himself of no reputation, and took upon him the form of a servant, and was made in the likeness of men:
may we marvel and tell the story of how You redeemed us Lord!
This song makes me weep... God bless you Andrew for the beautiful song of truth.
This song is Pure Beauty
Yes & Amen
Your music blesses many people Andrew. Thank you for using your gifts from God to glorify him. Love you!
Lyrics
Gather round ye children come
Listen to the old, old story
Of the power of death undone
By an infant born of glory
Son of God, Son of Man
Gather 'round, remember now
How creation held its breath
How it let out a sigh
And it filled up the sky with the angels
Son of God, Son of Man
So, sing out with joy for the brave little boy
Who was God, but He made Himself nothin'
Well, He gave up His pride
And He came here to die like a man
Therefore, God exalted Him
To the place of highest praises
And He gave Him a name above every name
That at the very name of Jesus, Son of God
We would sing out with joy for the brave little boy
Who was God, but He made Himself nothin'
Well, He gave up His pride
And He came here to die like a man
So, in heav'n and earth and below
Every knee would bow in worship
Ev'ry tongue would proclaim
Jesus, He reigns with the angels
So, sing out with joy for the brave little boy
Who was God, but He made Himself nothin'
'Cause he gave up His pride
And He came here to die like a man
So, gather round ye children come
Listen to the old, old story
Of the power of death undone
By an infant born of glory
Son of God, Son of Man

:)Can't get enough of Andrew's great music. ! " Is He Worthy " is one of the best songs I've ever heard!
Still get chills from the intro after all these years.
That intro sent chills down my spine too. The lyrics are awesome too.
This album is always my all time favorite. Blessings!
