| Text: | Such Love |
| Author: | C. Bishop |
| Tune: | SUCH LOVE |
| Composer: | Robert Harkness |
1 That God should love a sinner such as I,
should yearn to change my sorrow into bliss,
nor rest till He had planned to bring me nigh—
how wonderful is love like this!
Refrain:
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!
2 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]
3 That for a willful outcast such as I
the Father planned, the Savior bled and died,
redemption for a worthless slave to buy,
who long had law and grace defied! [Refrain]
4 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 all are done;
wide open are His arms of grace! [Refrain]
