He Knelt Down

He knelt at the table-side
Bold-faced friends shed contrite tears
Filthy feet with favor washed
Godly garments wrapped 'round heels

He knelt in Gethsemane
Olive-stained companions snored
Straining blood in prayer He wept
Word that put death to the sword

He knelt down
He knelt down
He knelt down
God's knees smeared with ground

He knelt in the prison yard
Dark world's Light lashed to a post
Bone-tipped whips and words assailed
The heart-spilling Lord of hosts

He knelt on the high hillside
Spines and splinters split his skin
Cross world's crushing weight pressed in
Sincere soul absorbed our sin

He knelt down
He knelt down
He knelt down
God's knees smeared with ground

He knelt down
He knelt down
He knelt down
God's knees smeared with ground
