"This is love: not that we loved God, but that He loved us and sent His Son..." 1 John 4:10
What Love is This?
What love is this that knows my name
With tender hands that formed my frame?
Before He made the burning stars
My life was sheltered in His heart
What love is this that moved my God
To leave the realms of bliss above
To save a guilty world from doom
Love dwelt within a virgin's womb
What love is this in grief displayed
Upon a tree that He had made?
Forsaken in His searing pain
Behold the Lamb for sinners slain
What love is this that moved my God
To ransom me with His own blood
There in my place, what grace unheard!
Love died the death that I deserved
What love is this that crushed the grave
And lives forever strong to save
I have no other confidence
For Christ is all my righteousness
What love is this that moved my Lord
To give Himself as my reward?
Now I am His and He is mine
Love waits for me in joy divine
Final Chorus
What love is this that moved my Lord
To bring a wretch through heaven's door?
For I am His and He is mine
Love waits for me in joy divine
Love waits for me in joy divine
