I've been thinking about the passage in Philippians (Philippians 2:5-10) that talks about having the mind which was also in Christ. I guess I don't have a very accurate word for word memory of Scripture, because I was remembering this passage as starting, "Each one of you should have this mind which was also in Christ..." That's not accurate, but the chorus I started with stuck with me, and I like it. What does it mean to have the mind of Christ, the way Paul talks about it? As I wrestled with it, this is what I came up with.
Each one of us, each and every one of us
Should have this mind which was also in Christ
Each one of us, each and every one of us
Should have the mind of Christ
He did not claim his rights, he left God's throne in heaven
He did not come to rule, he came to be a servant.
Although it cost his life, he did as God directed.
So every knee shall bow, in earth and up in heaven.
