What kind of God is this?
Who relinquishes paradise?
To become human
Because of love?

What kind of God is this?
Who walks barefoot?
Instead of using angelic chariots
Because of love?

What kind of God is this?
Who created the universe?
Has no place to be born
Because of love?

What kind of God is this?
Let go of immortality
To become human
Because of love?

What kind of God is this?
Condemned to death
By one of His creatures
Because of love?

What kind of God is this
Left heaven to live on earth
Taught how to be human
Because of love?
