The lyrics and structure of this song are really amazing! The lyrics tightly follow Phillipians 2:5 to 11 (all except the 2nd two lines of the second verse) and it's got a pretty decent melody. verse 1. 6 -5 5 6 -7 7 -7 6 -6 Jesus Christ in very nature God, -6 -6 -6 -6 6 5 6 -5 5 -4 did not grasp hold of His place on the throne, 6 -5 5 6 -7 7 -8 7 -7 -6 but took on the nature of a servant, -6 -7 7 -7 6 6 -5 5 6 made Himself nothing, born as a man. verse 2. Being found in appearance of a man, He was obedient to death on a cross. There He died, God the Son our maker, A humble servant, showing the way. chorus. 7 -8 8 8 8 8 8 -8 8 -9 9 8 Therefore God exalted Him to the highest place -8 7 7 7 7 -7-7 6 -7-6 And gave Him the Name above all names. 7 -8 8 8 8 8 8 7 -8 8 -9 9 So that at the name of Jesus every knee should 8 bow -8 7 7 7 7 7 7 7 -8 8 -8 In Heaven and on earth and under the earth. -8 7 -7 7 7 7 6 9-9 8 -8 7 And every tongue confess that Jesus is Lord, 6 6 -6 7 7 7 -7 -8 7 To the glory of God the Father. |
