the one who was born low
became a carpenter unlike others.
he was exalted, but carried unheard woe
and through this gave us brothers

he worked for one
and served all
his faults were none
but he answered my judgment call

this carpenter was clever
but never duplicit
with his patience
he watched the snake as it bit
and the consequences came in
that seemed to last forever

the greatest thing the carpender built was this
a plan
he made the scales tilt
from deserving death to life

and the one who constructed this great salvation
was abducted by the ones he saved

and through our sin
he created salvation
by killing what we could not win
he saved all creation
