Verse 1:
Fully human He was, fully human He is still today
With arms that embrace me with compassion
Feet that run to me, His child, with fullest joy
With strong hands that gently lift my weary head to see
His eyes that can see into the depths of my soul, yet love me ever graciously
Chorus:
I am caught in this gaze, this marvelous embrace
Until my mind catches up, struggling to swallow the truth
Jesus, you see me and love me, how can this be
Verse 2:
That day you took on human flesh, arriving into the world in the most vulnerable of states
What was it like, to yourself become a part of creation in the very world you created
You wearied in body, mind, and spirit in the days you wandered earth, yet all without sin
Emotions expressed in the purest of their forms, never holding back compassion nor anger
Oh that you might draw me closer into your mysterious ways,
To walk the path of suffering and glory which you chose before the days began
Chorus
Verse 3:
Your heart beats in rhythms mine can never hope to without your oxygen
Supplying my every need, breathing life into my lifeless organs
Which I depend upon daily as I find myself still within the most vulnerable of states
But those arms that extend, feet that run toward me, hands that support me, and eyes that see
my every fault and choose to love me still
Amazing grace, there is no other way to name it
Chorus
Verse 4:
You told me it would be to my advantage that you send your Spirit
My counselor, my advocate, the power of God in-dwelling within the space of my heart
Convicting with the most pointed knife, and I realize upon my yielding I find relief
Once the cancer is cut out, healing comes with tender words of affirmation, reassurance
Chorus
Verse 5:
Fully human He was and is, fully human He will be when we meet in the clouds
Joyful sounds will resound as the bridegroom at last sweeps His bride off her feet
Whisking her away to some place greater where the flower never fades
Where human souls finally realize the fullness of humanity. What they were meant to be.
Chorus
AB 10/8/21
