Gospel Hymn - A Hymn of God's Word
The Incarnate God
Is Very Important to Mankind
This flesh is so important to mankind, for He is man and most of all, He is God; for He can do the work no ordinary man of flesh can, and He can save corrupt man living with Him on earth, here on earth.
I
God incarnate can do the work that man cannot, 'cause His inward substance is not like that of man. He can save man, 'cause His identity is different from that of man. This flesh is so important to mankind, for He is man and most of all, He is God; for He can do the work no ordinary man of flesh can, and He can save corrupt man living with Him on earth, here on earth.
II
God incarnate, He is the same, the same as man, but He's more important than any man of worth, 'cause He can do the work that God's Spirit cannot. He can better testify God and win man's heart. This flesh is normal and is ordinary, but His contribution to the humankind and His significance to their existence make Him much more precious and valuable. This flesh is so important to mankind, for He is man and most of all, He is God. The value and importance, importance of this flesh is something, something can't be counted by anyone, counted by anyone.
III
Though this flesh cannot directly destroy Satan, His work can defeat it and conquer man, making Satan completely, completely submit to His dominion. God can save man, defeat Satan, 'cause He becomes flesh. He doesn't destroy Satan but becomes flesh to work and conquer man corrupted by it. So, He can better testify Himself among the creatures, and save corrupted man. This flesh is so important to mankind, for He is man and most of all, He is God; for He can do the work no ordinary man of flesh can, and He can save corrupt man living with Him on earth, here on earth.
IV
God defeats Satan through His incarnate flesh, and this bears greater, greater witness. It's more persuasive than God's Spirit directly destroys Satan. This flesh is so important to mankind, for He is man and most of all, He is God. God in flesh can better help man know the Creator and better bear, better bear witness to Himself among the creatures.
