What Wondrous Love Is This

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.
~ What Wondrous Love Is This

So as it is Lent I have sung this song several times throughout church services, chapel and praise and I love hearing it and singing along to it each and every time. God really has some wondrous love for us. We are sinners and our curse is that He should condemn us, but He sent Jesus to die on the cross for us and that to me is some really strong love. He sent His son that He loved very much to come into the world to live a perfect life so that all of us sinners could be saved because of His wondrous love. No matter the things we do, both bad and good, God will always love us and continue loving us throughout eternity. We go through struggles and get farther away from God at times, but He laid aside His crown so that we can be forgiven and live with Him.

We should lift up our voices for God because He has given us the ability to sing and so we should use our voices to praise Him. There are millions that join in singing praises to the Lord which is an amazing thought. He has freed us from eternal death and even though we will die on earth, we will live forever in heaven when we believe in Jesus dying on the cross for our sins. We need to remember that God has freed us from death and we should be happy because we will live with God through eternity. Easter is coming up quickly and it is a great time to remember the wondrous gift that God gave us, sending His son, Jesus, to live a perfect life and then having Him die so that our sins could be forgiven.

Remember that God has a wondrous love for you.
