Eternal Love
Eternal love, unending grace
Compassion rich and free
Are found upon the Savior’s face
Are found at Calvary
For there they mocked, and there He cried
Forsaken and alone
For there He bled and there He died
To take me as His own
Oh, I am mortal and undone
A sinner, yet I see
He sent for me His only Son
What love He has for me!
A love so great and infinite
He heard my desperate cry
A love so deep and passionate
He rather chose to die
And give up all His majesty
His palace in the sky
And live among such misery
Than see me justly die
For I deserved the awful death
But He was there instead
He finished all, gave up His breath
And lay among the dead
The grave could never hold him down
Nor can it conquer me
For when He rose to claim His crown
I rose for all to see
Yeshua conquered, grace to give
What joy–He set me free!
He paid the price for me to live
What love He has for me!
A love that chose to rescue me
When I had gone astray
Although I sinned so stubbornly
He led me to His way
A love that reads my heart and mind
Yet sees beyond my sin
He opened heaven’s gates to find
My soul and let me in
A love beyond my hopes or dreams
No other love compares
Like never-ending cleansing streams
That take away my cares
A love that daily bears with me
And helps me learn and grow
A love that clears my eyes to see
And guides me as I go
A love that always cares for me
A love that knows no end
My righteous King has come to be
My Father and my Friend
A love that faithfully forgives
Whatever I have done
He loves me with the love He gives
His Son, the Righteous One!
This love is why I live today
This love is how I cope
And in the darkest pit or fray
This love is still my hope
Eternal love, unending grace
Compassion rich and free
Are found upon the Savior’s face
What love He has for me!
