What wondrous Love is this???

Sunday at church we sang an old hymn that to my knowledge I had never heard, What Wondrous Love is This?, and the words of this old hymn have been on my heart every since Sunday. This song was written in the 19th century, and I pray it will be a rich blessing to you today. The version of the song I am listening to right now is by Koine and I found it on iTunes. I am going to post the lyrics and encourage whoever may read this to go and find a version of this song that fits your liking. The lyrics are so rich and I pray they drive you to your knees in adoration of the great God who loves you. If you have strayed this should be an encouragement for you to return to the God who gave His Son to pay the penalty for the wrath of God because of sin that you may not longer be slave to sin but free in Christ. If you are walking faithful in this life then this song will be an encouragement for you to continue walking faithfully to the very end of this life and into the life that is to come. If you are living a mediocre life as it pertains to your faith then this song should encourage you to get off the fence and choose today who you will serve. The passage we studied Sunday was 1 John 2:28-3:10 and it too has been working me over on how important it is to live my life daily for Him.

To God and to the the Lamb, I will sing....I will sing!

What wondrous love is this, O my soul, O my soul!
What wondrous love is this, O my soul!
What wondrous love is this that caused the Lord of bliss
To bear the dreadful curse for my soul, for my soul,
To bear the dreadful curse for my soul.

When I was sinking down, sinking down, sinking down,
When I was sinking down, sinking down,
When I was sinking down beneath God’s righteous frown,
Christ laid aside His crown for my soul, for my soul,
Christ laid aside His crown for my soul.

To God and to the Lamb, I will sing, I will sing;
To God and to the Lamb, I will sing.
To God and to the Lamb Who is the great “I Am”;
While millions join the theme, I will sing, I will sing;
While millions join the theme, I will sing.

And when from death I’m free, I’ll sing on, I’ll sing on;
And when from death I’m free, I’ll sing on.
And when from death I’m free, I’ll sing and joyful be;
And through eternity, I’ll sing on, I’ll sing on;
And through eternity, I’ll sing on.
