What kind of God puts on humility
Born in a manger lowly as lowly can be
The Son of God became a man
I can’t believe He would do that for me
This is love, this is Jesus
What kind of King
Would give up His throne for me
Denying Himself,
He gave me everything
He came to serve
He came to save
I can’t believe He would do that for me
This is love, thank You Jesus
What gift could I bring
To give to the King of the world
I’ll bring praise ‘cause You’re worthy
I’ll bring thanks,
‘cause You’re good
And though it could never amount to what You deserve
I’ll bring the best that I can
I’ll bring all that I am
Giving it all to the One who’s been faithful
again and again
What kind of love
Would lay down His life for His friends
Bearing the weight and wearing the burden of sin
The Light of the world
He Took on the dark
And I can’t believe He would do that for me
But You are love, thank You Jesus
I’ll bring praise ‘cause You’re worthy
I’ll bring thanks,
‘cause You’re good
Though it could never amount to what You deserve
I’ll bring the best that I canI’ll bring all that I am
Giving it all to the one who’s been faithful
again and again
This, this is Christ the King,
Whom shepherds guard and angels sing
Haste, haste to bring Your praise
To Jesus
This, this is Christ the King,
The Babe, the Son of Mary
Hail, hail the Word made flesh,
He’s Jesus
Joy, joy for Christ is born
We thank You for the cross You bore
Haste, haste to bring Your praise
To Jesus
I’ll bring praise ‘cause You’re worthy
I’ll bring thanks,
‘cause You’re good
Though it could never amount to what You deserve
I’ll bring the best that I can
I’ll bring all that I am
Giving it all to the one who’s been faithful
again and again
This is love
This is Jesus
You are Love
And I thank You Jesus

Song Meaning
Charity Gayle's "What Kind of God" circles a single question with growing wonder, starting at the manger and ending at the cross. The opening lines picture a God who chooses humility, born in a lowly manger, the Son of God taking on human flesh — a thought the lyric keeps returning to with plain disbelief: "I can't believe He would do that for me." That refrain anchors the song as it moves from the King who leaves His throne, to the servant who comes to save, to the love that lays down life for friends and bears the weight of sin. The bridge borrows the old carol cadence — "This, this is Christ the King" — and folds shepherds, angels, and the Word made flesh into the same astonished question. The response is not a theological argument but an offering: praise because He is worthy, thanks because He is good, and the honest admission that no gift could ever amount to what He deserves. Still, the singer brings the best she can, all that she is, to the One who has been faithful again and again. The song lands on a simple, repeated confession — this is love, this is Jesus — turning wonder into gratitude.
