The Bow of Victory
He hung His head one last time but it wasn't in defeat
It was not in embarrassment for He knew no conceit
Nor was it in subjection to some earthly potentate
Or for regret of doing unkind things that people hate
But as a sign of victory for that which He had done
As man to prove the love of God the Father's only Son
Who with Him from eternity had laid the path He trod
To be the Lamb of sacrifice and point the world to God
For when He bowed His head that day upon that cruel cross
The Savour given to mankind as One to save the lost
He finished what He started when He left His throne above
By demonstrating to the world God is the God of love
Who held back not one inkling of Himself for you and I
When on that cross for all our sins He chose to hang and die
An Emblem to the world at large that looked like His defeat
But was in truth the winning move the devil could not beat
For there our fate was chosen sealed and stamped with God's own blood
No more to be in question for the perfect brotherhood
When one who's lost and fallen turns in faith to Him Who died
Accepting God's great Sacrifice that is for him supplied
And then by grace proceeding from a life that knew defeat
Into a life that only God provides at Jesus' feet
Where morning after morning we gain all we need from Him
To likewise live His victory before the eyes of them
Who think that all our suffering is for no good at all
Who cannot see beyond the veil of flesh or hear the call
Of God to rise each morning for a victory walk with Him
Accompanied by angels whom He sends to comfort them
The way He did with Jesus when He knelt that night to pray
Before He would be sacrificed the coming fateful day
One time to bring us victory o'er Satan and his plan
Securing for eternity the hope and joy of man
When none will bow to sin again nor to the will of men
But only to the One true God who gives us joy within
That joy that Jesus purchased with His blood upon the cross
The last time that He bowed His head in victory not loss
