The Measure of His Love For God so loved the world that He would give His only Son, that we would ever live Redemption is the way of Jesus Christ And faith the way to everlasting life For God so loved the world, so loved the world That when the plight of Jesus was unfurled He asked forgiveness for a faithless man Despite the driven nail that pierced His hand For God so loves the ones who honor you That He bestows to them the honor due And shines his radiance upon their face And fills their hearts with richness of His grace For God so loves the righteous in His realm That he would let them man the wayward helm Andfight the gale-like winds that sweep the day Yet it is He who guides the rudder’s way For God so loves the ones who love the poor That He would show them destitution’s door He sees the souls whose charity is swift And fills the giver’s hand with twice the gift For God so loves the ones who kneel in prayer With heads so humbly bowed in reverence there That He would see them through the trials of life So they may grow in spirit through their strife For God so loved the world that he would send His Holy Lamb, the greatest gift to men And still the Christmas bell so clearly rings For one of humble birth, the King of Kings God’s Love is greater than the mind can know More pure than is the whiteness of the snow More vast than all the stars in heaven’s space In equal measure only to His Grace Elizabeth Santos October 5, 2003 |
