Love was a cross
On which a price was paid
When the prince of glory
On the same was laid.
What depth of love!
What abounding grace!
What encompassing mercy!
God took our place!
None could pay it
But the Redeemer
Who gave himself willingly
For the transgressor.
It was God Himself
In the person of His Son
And thus, in a very real sense,
Became our ransom.
Spirit hath not blood
Yes, I know this is true
But God was in Christ Jesus
For me, for you.
What depth of love!
What abounding grace!
What encompassing mercy!
God took my place.
‘Tis mystery all
That such depth of love
For a single worthless sinner
Came from above.
Were I the only one
Christ would have died,
God’s love for all is the same
As for a single child.
Unfathomable love,
Wonder working love
That brought God my Saviour
From heaven above.
What depth of love!
What abounding grace!
What encompassing mercy!
God took my place.
