O the wonder of wonders that
God should love me! Love a sinner so guilty, so vile
and unkind, To love Thee unlovely, how can it be done? Tis only in Jesus, through His
blessed Son. Long before I ever knew Him,
my Lord first knew me. Before I ever sought Him, my
Lord first sought me. When I was in darkness, His warning
light. He purchased my pardon on Calvary's
tree His love is a mountain that I cannot scale As wide as an
ocean that I cannot sail I'll never lay hold of my mind fully,
see This love that in mercy first stayed hold of me Not that I first did choose him,
for that could not be. Still this heart would refuse
him, had he left it to me. I'd still fight that battle that
no man can win I'd still bar the heart's door that letteth
him in Is a mountain that I cannot scale
As wide as an ocean that I cannot sail I'll never lay hold of This love that in mercy first
laid hold of me. This love that in mercy first
laid hold of me.
