For hereunto you have been called,
Because Christ has suffered for you;
As an example, made you flawed,
Following His steps to construe.
He did no sin neither deceit,
For when He had been reviled;
He continued to be upbeat,
When threatened He was undefiled.
The Father who judges justly,
Even at times He did suffer;
For He was filled with modesty,
The Father was there to buffer.
He bore our sin on the tree,
That we could live to righteousness;
And sin could die to make us free,
For healing wounds and make flawless.
For you were sheep going astray,
To the Shepherd you have returned;
Bishop of your soul to obey,
For the salvation you have earned.
