He once was

I found myself himming this song today. My teenager started humming it too. The power of music is amazing.

 It's always been a song that pulled at me. Maybe it's the opposition and completeness of Jesus the man becoming Jesus the Christ portrayed so simply.

It's been my earworm today and I thought it was a hood one to pass on.

Once forsaken, left alone, 

Now exalted to a throne. 

Once all things he meekly bore, 

But he now will bear no more.

But he now will bear no more.

196 Jesus, Once of Humble Birth
