Text: | Never in a Million Years |
Author: | J. W. P. |
Tune: | [Have you ever wondered why the Savior came] |
Composer: | John W. Peterson |
1 Have you ever wondered why the Savior came
From heav’n to earth to die on a cross of shame?
Have you ever sought to know why He paid the price?
Why He did to Calv’ry go as the sinner’s sacrifice?
Chorus:
Never in a million years, if that could be,
Could we know the reason why He suffered on the cross for you and me;
Willingly He died that day,
Died to take our sins away
But never in a million years could we understand such love!
2 No we cannot comprehend why Jesus cared,
Why He became our friend and our sorrows shared;
O the secret will remain with God above,
But we now can praise His name for the wonder of His love. [Chorus]
