Your Love

YOUR LOVE

I see agony in Your Holy face

and I cannot understand at all

Why You chose to save the human race

who so miserably did fall

It is Your unspeakable LOVE

I see Your Blood on hands and feet

dripping down that rugged cross

Your head, where blood and thorns do meet

Is bruised to save my soul from loss

It is Your immeasurable LOVE

I hear Your voice, a desperate cry

in anguish calling for relief

It echoes in the heavens high

It makes man shiver in disbelief

It is Your unselfish LOVE

At that God-forsaken place You died

You shed Your Precious Blood for me

to save me from my sin and pride

You cleansed me .... You set me free

It is Your Redeeming LOVE

No human will ever understand

While Your life-blood was flowing away

You still reached out Your Holy hand

To rescue those who're going astray

It is Your Godly LOVE

All we like sheep have gone astray; we have turned every one to his own way; and the LORD hath laid on Him the iniquity of us all. Isaiah 53:6
