RESPONDING TO A WONDROUS LOVE

This Holy week, we reflect what Jesus did for us on the cross. It is difficult to understand the love and sacrafice that went into such an act. How does one respond to THIS? "..Repent and Believe...." Mark 1:15

"...Hear the word of God and obey it..." Luke 11:28

"Sing to the Lord, praise his name; proclaim his salvation day after day." Psalm 96:2


"... go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy spirit, and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you." Matthew 28:19-20a



“Greater love has no one than this, that he lay down his life for his friends.” John 15:13


WHAT WONDROUS LOVE IS THIS:

Words attributed to Alexander Means/Music: William Walker 1835

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.
