There Is No Greater Portrait

Author: Eric Schumacher; David L. Ward Hymnal: New Hymns of Hope #210 Lyrics: There is no greater portrait Of Love and sacrifice Than Jesus leaving glory And laying down His life. When I look on the sufferings My Savior chose to bear, It fills my heart with sorrow To think I put Him there. He ran the race before Him Though it was filled with pain, And walked the road to glory In agony and shame. Then for the joy before Him, He chose to bear the cross, pursued His Father's pleasure And counted all else loss. The Son of Man was lifted Before creation's eyes; Was mocked and scorned by soldiers, By kings and priests despised. But now the Son is risen, Ascended to the skies. By angels He is worshiped; By nations glorified. O Savior, let this sinner Be ransomed by the flood of mercy and forgiveness Abundant in Your blood. O Lord, by my salvation, Your Holy Spirit send To change my heart and cause me To love you to the end. Languages: English
