You Became Like Me


You became like me
Took on my weakness
Gave up Your glory

How did You look
As You sat in that boat
As you walked on the streets of cobblestones?

How did you look
As You grew hungry and thirsty
And as they served You delicious food?

You became like me
Took on my weakness
Gave up Your glory

You had no beauty
You had no majesty
Nothing at all to attract me…

How did you look
As You stayed up all night
Healing the sick and all that was not right

How did you look
As You grew tired and weary
As Your eyes started to feel heavy?

You became like me
Took on my weakness
Gave up Your glory

How did You look
As You carried Your cross
Down on the streets of cobblestones?

How did You look
With Your eyes set like flint
To the hill where You chose to die


You became like me
Took on my weakness
Gave up Your glory

How did You look
As they nailed Your hands
As they nailed Your feet to that old rugged cross

How did You look
As You hung on that cross
As You took on my sin
As You became me

And there’s one thing beating
One thing beating
In Your heart

Oh, there’s one thing beating
One thing beating
In Your heart

You became like me
Took on my weakness
Gave up Your glory

All because You loved me
All because You loved me

How did You look
As You breathed Your last
With a sigh that said You were satisfied?

You became like me
Took on my weakness
Gave up Your glory

All because You loved me
All because You loved me
