“But I am a worm, and no man; a reproach of men,
and despised of the people.”
Psalm 22:6
Who was this worm the
reproach of men?
Despised by all when He
came!
Not a Rabbi or a leader.
He held no office of high
estate.
He was just a carpenter’s
son!
The rebuke of men He came
to save.
His Father turned away from
His sight!
Undeserving of this
dreadful state,
This worm for us did fight!
He was just a carpenter’s
son!
For me and all, this worm
did crawl
To the top of Calvary ’s Hill!
Lifted high above the
others there,
Took our place and did His
Father will!
He was just a carpenter’s
son!
Like the scarlet worm that
clang to the tree,
To bring life to her own!
The stain she left was
crimson red,
They lived and she went
home!
He was just a carpenter’s
son!
Now this Worm of low estate
is lifted high above!
With a name above all other
names!
King of kings! Lord of
lords!
He was just a carpenter’s
Son!
“Who is the
image of the invisible God, the firstborn of every creature: For by him were
all things created, that are in heaven, and that are in earth, visible and
invisible, whether they be thrones,
or dominions, or principalities, or powers: all things were created by him, and
for him: And he is before all things, and by him all things consist. And he is the
head of the body, the church: who is the beginning, the firstborn from the
dead; that in all things he
might have the preeminence. For it pleased the Father that
in him should all fulness dwell; And, having made peace through the blood of his cross, by him to reconcile
all things unto himself; by him, I say, whether they be things
in earth, or things in heaven.” Colossians 1:15-20
I
found it very difficult to think of the LORD as a “worm”! However in this verse we can see the
miserable state Christ was in and what He became to satisfy our sin!
I
would never consider my LORD as a worm but I am so thankful He expressed His
love for us and gave up His glory for such a worm as I!!!
