SUCH LOVE

SUCH LOVE

That God should love a sinner such as I,
Should yearn to turn my sorrow into bliss,
Nor rest till He had planned to bring me high,
How wonderful is love like this.

Such love, such wondrous love,
Such love, such wondrous love,
That God should love a sinner such as I,
How wonderful is love like this!

That Christ should join so freely in the scheme,
Although it meant His death on calvary,
Did ever human tongue find nobler theme
Than love divine that ransomed me!

Refrain

That for a willful outcast such as I'
The Father planned, the Saviour bled and died;
Redemption for a worthless slave to buy,
Who long had low and grace defied!

Refrain

And now He takes me to His heart, a son,
He asks me not to fill a servant's place;
The "far-off country" wand'rings are all done
Wide open are His arms of grace!

Refrain
