Jesus,
You who always were
in the highest
and always were
the Highest
humbled Yourself
lowly
for me
And I am in awe
of the sacrifice
of majesty
and Sonship
and royalty
Because the highest place
and the highest position
and the highest praise
are what You deserve
A wooden animal trough
made by a carpenter’s hands
is where you came to be
And I will forever thank You
and I will forever bless You
and I will forever praise You
for You are the Highest
bent low
for me

Applause, everyone. Bravo, bravissimo!
Shout God-songs at the top of your lungs!
God Most High is stunning,
astride land and ocean.
He crushes hostile people,
puts nations at our feet.
He set us at the head of the line,
prize-winning Jacob, his favorite.
Loud cheers as God climbs the mountain,
a ram’s horn blast at the summit.
Sing songs to God, sing out!
Sing to our King, sing praise!
He’s Lord over earth,
so sing your best songs to God.
God is Lord of godless nations—
sovereign, He’s King of the mountain.
Princes from all over are gathered,
people of Abraham’s God.
The powers of earth are God’s—
He soars over all.
– Psalm 47:1-9 (MSG)
I cry out to God Most High, to God who will fulfill His purpose for me.

thundered from the heavens.
