In deepest depths of sin’s abyss <br />Lost to Salvation’s grace <br />Who can appraise God’s tender kiss? <br />Or Jesus’ warm embrace <br /> <br />Such untold lengths God’s love can reach <br />Who can it’s strength endure? <br />For none can preach nor teacher teach <br />Such warmth unknown before <br /> <br />Surely to man its more than strange <br />This love of God on high <br />Who can receive and fail to change? <br />Or fail to wonder why <br /> <br />Who can refuse God’s willing arms? <br />Who can object such care? <br />Who can reject such wondrous charms? <br />Salvation has to share <br /> <br />Beyond all thought or wildest dreams <br />Far beyond man’s scope <br />Flowing in such tremendous streams <br />How is a child to cope? <br /> <br />That quiet voice the sweetest smell <br />The feeling deep inside <br />Such happiness will fail to tell <br />But Jesus chosen bride <br /> <br />But all mankind can still receive <br />God’s word has so decreed <br />They need but on His love believe <br />And take of all they need <br /> <br />I bless the day this shaking hand <br />Took hold of that divine <br />And made this child to understand <br />Such love that now is mine<br /><br />Michael P.
