Equality with God

Jon Thurlow

From Songs About Jesus.

“Trust your heart,” that’s what the world says But I know my heart, and it is desperately wicked ‘Cause something deep inside, it says, “I want to be just like God So don’t tell me what to do; I’ll do just whatever I want” And it’s the very same thing that cast the devil from Your presence The very same thing that tripped up Adam and Eve And it’s the very same thing That I struggle with inside of me But You did not consider equality with God As something to be grasped No, You did not consider equality with God As something to be grasped Sitting in the garden, I’m hearing the prayer of the Son He says, “Not my will, but the will of the Father be done” But each one of us, we’ve turned to our own way Just like sheep, we have all gone astray But You made Yourself nothing on a tree, dying there for me And all the world could see this Man, full of humility I see this Man full of humility I see this Man full of humility
