Oh, What Love

Oh, what love Jesus has for you and me
Oh, what agony He endured hanging on the tree
Calling to His Father, sending up a prayer
Forgiveness for the two sinners there

Bleeding from His head, His side, His hands, His feet
He could have had His army of angels come defeat
Those who doubted and mocked His power
Denied, forsaken in His lonely, final hour

Infinite love, mercy, favor comes from His heart
By grace we will be saved, to never be apart
By Jesus, our dear Savior, our ransom was paid
A loss of one dear soul, His life He wouldn’t trade
