"Can we find such a one as this is, a man in whom the Spirit of God is? And Pharaoh said... There is none so discreet and wise as thou art.... and they cried before him, Bow the knee: and he made him ruler over all the land of Egypt" (Genesis 41:38-43). "O Lord, our Lord, how excellent is Thy name in all the earth" (Psalm 8:1).
Can we find one such as this
With such a reputation?
We have found the Source of bliss:
The Lord of our salvation!
There is no other in the earth
So mighty, wise, or kind!
We search the world for such worth:
None fairer can we find!
We see the striking parallel
In Joseph's rise to fame,
When every knee in honor fell,
Exalting thus his name.
Yet Lord, our Lord, how excellent
Your name is above all!
We are lost in wonderment
As on Your name we call!
For why would You afford such grace
Through Your redemption plan
By entering the human race
To rescue sinful man?
Lord, we find no other one
Who even can compare!
We bow the knee to God the Son,
The Fairest of the fair!
