SUCH LOVE

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!

CHORUS
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?

That for a wilful outcast
such as I,
The Father planned,
The Saviour bled and died;
Redemption for a worthless
slave to buy,
Who long had law and grace
defied.

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.
