…is there in our history any who gave so much… for you, or me?
Follow the star to a place unexpected
Would you believe, after all we’ve projected,
A child in a manger?
Lowly and small, the weakest of all
Unlikeliest hero, wrapped in his mother’s shawl -
Just a child -
Is this who we’ve waited for? ’cause…
How many kings step down from their thrones?
How many lords have abandoned their homes?
How many greats have become the least for me?
And how many gods have poured out their hearts
To romance a world that is torn all apart
How many fathers gave up their sons for me?
Bringing our gifts for the newborn Savior
All that we have, whether costly or meek
Because we believe.
Gold for his honor, and frankincense for his pleasure
And myrrh for the cross he will suffer
Do you believe?
Is this who we’ve waited for?
All for me…
All for you…

Hey Kar, as optimistic as ever I see. : )
Answer: The human condition is fascinating, especially how we all perceive it in different fashions. Yours works for you but not for me but it works none the less.
I swear, you’re the ONLY theist I can’t ever not be nice to… you’re too awesome.

This isn’t a question. I’m sure it’s a nice song and all, but again, this isn’t a question.

Jesus went from being a wandering preacher to sitting on a Throne in Heaven. Where’s the sacrifice in that? He died an awful death but so do millions of others. Many are even worse.

Exactly.. The Jesus myth is a retelling of the much older pagan myth of the sacrificial king

Buddha. He stepped down from a life of privilege, and there is actual proof he existed unlike jesus.
Besides, if jesus was the son of god he had nothing to worry about and he only stepped down for 32 years then went back to be the right hand of god. That sounds like a sweet deal to me.

Oh, he’s always pouring out stuff.. Pouring out his love, pouring out his wrath, his judgement, his mercy, his life…
GET A NEW METAPHOR. This one has used up its 30 years of fashionability.

I would be more impressed with this "gift of a savior" if I had been asked first if I wanted it, rather than have it forced on me.
I have no need of a savior.
I have no need or desire for someone to redeem me.
I have no need or desire for someone else to pay for my errors.
And I have no desire nor do I accept someone’s murder as a gift.
But who could compare? Well, Lord Buddha for one. He taught us to stand on our own and take responsibility for our own lives. Now what could compare to the kindness of that.

"Would you believe, after all we’ve projected"
Nice line to represent how theists believe and represent their beliefs. Just a huge projection of themselves onto this god concept.

I can think of only one, not compare but finish, the Son of Man, He will finish things as the Judgment of Him In Jesus, Making things plain as changed ones and it will be over.
But the word of God is being put forth as faith ones to apprehend end as spoken. As in the days of Noah so shall be the days of the Son of Man and His coming.
The thrones stepping down are because the finish is not yet and the completion of time is mounting to complete, for He who knows is blessing, they who will complete as the ark of the Lord and the finish truths will tell truth; for he who can not say other then his self as the answer to Christ, he this kind will be changed to what will compare as finish in Him Christ as the label of man.
But let us not step down, but unite in him in love as the lord coming as faith, even if not whole, lets be true in spirit and the truth of the mater as the confess of our salvation of grace in God as beholding his glory to hope of life.
Let Jesus be the glory always

This is a song that I have most enjoyed. Thank you for sharing. However it must become known that we are all of the divine and we all are to be of this state. "For God so loved the world…" This is very profound and understated. God so loves the world. Loves us ALL and we are all His creation.
In so many religions outside of Christianity have similar such stories held within their scriptures. It’s not about one being more special that another. Instead it is about how we are all equally special.
I pray the world finds the day soon where we all gaze upon one another in absolute and perfect Love.
Blessings

What about every day people who risk or give up life for fellow man
No one gives a crap for them….turns them into prophets..or Gods
They just give their life in relative obscurity
The bible was the first book published printed and promoted
Jesus Christ was / is like a promoted rock star
Follow the money ….follow the power
