What Wondrous Love

What wondrous love is this that calls the Lord of bliss to bear the dreadful curse for my soul?

When I was sinking down beneath God's righteous frown Christ laid aside His crown for my soul.
To God and to the Lamb Who is the great I Am. While millions join with thee I will Sing.
And When from death I'm free, I'll sing and grateful be. While millions join with thee, I will Sing.
O What a wonderful love!

This is a song by Alexander Means written in 1835... and it's truth transcends time and generations. It truly is a wondrous love that turns an enemy into an heir. If we look fully into the scope of our depravity we can't help but find ourselves in stupor when we attempt to fathom the restoring, rescuing, and ravishing love of the Father. Like Alexander, I too will be grateful when from death I'm free. But even now, on this side of eternity, I send my gratitude and praise to a worthy King. What a wonderful love. What a wondrous love!
