Reflections on Philippians 2
I'm glad the Lord didn't say,
Father, I'd love to, but I'm busy that day;
It's not a good time to take the trip to Earth;
I'd rather not experience birth,
Life, difficulties, death;
Can't someone else give up their breath
For such sinful folk as Earth holds?
Instead, He said,
Yes, and came, and bled,
Pierced hand and head,
Gave up His life and prerogatives Divine,
Said, here is one I'll make Mine.
After all that how can I ever say,
Father, I'd love to, but I'm busy that day.
