Wondrous Love

Wondrous love, this gift of grace

Wondrous love, our stony hearts replace

With a love that sacrifices for God's glory, for our good.

And  from God alone it comes it's understood.

By such wondrous love as this I am devastated

For such love transfigures lives and we're undone.

For this love rent the vail that my heart had consecrated

And o'er my worldly willful mind the victory's won.

Such wondrous love as this is the true treasure

Every other kind of love will pale beside

This love that shows compassion without measure

Runs like a raging  river- it's as deep as it is wide.

Wondrous love shall e're be mine

It shall transform all that it finds

We'll demonstrate the wonders of

This wonderful and winsome wondrous love.

Wondrous love, our souls embrace

Wondrous love, the gift of grace

Oh this love reveals the maker and the lover of our souls

Till our life will demonstrate He's in control

This wondrous love, this wondrous love

This wondrous love, This wondrous love.
