Amazing Love - Hymn

"Amazing love! How can it be
that thou, my God, shouldst die for me?"
	-From the hymn "And can it be that I should gain?" by Charles Wesley



Woe is me! The greatest sinner,
My sins killed my Saviour,
By His grace, I'm now a winner,
What an amazing love!

To Him, I've been so unfaithful,
Yet He came down for me,
For His saving grace, I'm grateful,
What an amazing love!

Eternal God, He tasted death,
All for most sinful me,
I'm His e'en after my last breath,
What an amazing love!

Jo, a tribute to the wonderful hymn of the great Charles Wesley, but even more, a tribute to our wonderful Saviour. Your lovely words lifted my spirits today. Blessings ~ John
