Look, Hes covered in dirt. The blood of his mother has mixed with the earth And shes just a child whos throbbing in pain From the terror of birth by the light of a cave. Now theyve laid that small baby Where creatures come eat, Like a meal for the swine who have no clue that He Is still holding together the world that they see. They dont know just how low, But He has to go Lower still. Look now, Hes kneeling; Hes washing their feet, Though theyre all filthy fishermen, traitors and thieves! Now Hes pouring his heart out, and theyre falling asleep! But He has to go lower still. There is greater love to show. Hands to the plow. Further down now, Blood must flow. All these steps are personal! All His shame is ransom! Oh, do you see? Do you see just how low He has come? Do you see it now? No one takes from Him What He freely gives away. Beat in his face, Tear the skin off his back. Lower still. Lower still. Strip off his clothes, Make him crawl through the streets. Lower still. Lower still. Hang him like meat On a criminals tree! Lower still! Lower still! Bury his corpse in the earth Like a seed! Like a seed! Like a seed! Lower still! Lower still. Lower still. Lower still. The Earth explodes! She cannot hold him! And all therein is placed beneath Him! And Death itself no longer reigns! It cannot keep the ones He gave Himself to save! And as the universe shatters, the darkness dissolves. He alone will be honored. We will bathe in his splendor As all heads bow lower still. All heads bow lower still! - Lower Still by My Epic My Epic nails it on the real reason for the season. Merry Christmas!
