Hymn In C

歌詞

John 1:1-14, 2 Cor 5:17, 2 Cor 8:9, Gal 6:14, Phil 1:21, Phil 3:8, Col 3:1 God of love You came to earth Born in a manger, the incarnate Word Full of grace, and full of truth You healed the leper, You made all things new Religion despised Your word of love Condemned You to die in Your innocence A crown of thorns and mockery Were Yours my Saviour, my precious King Stained with blood and bruised with pain The Lamb of God on a cross of shame Never before and never again Was love so great, was death so grim There on the hill You died for me You took my sin, gave me liberty I’ll never boast but in Your cross And all my gains I now count as loss When sins they rob my heart of joy And condemnation seems to steal even more This I recall, You rose again And I rose with You, hallelujah amen So if I live in want, or die in shame To live is You and to die is gain I in You and You in me My God, my brother, my identity Were I tempted with the best of earth All it’s pleasures and all it’s gold And if fame in all it’s kingdoms Was in my hands to hold I’d scorn it all for You’ve given me The treasure of Your Son And now I’m richer than the richest For You’ve given me Your love
