That Such Great Love Comes Near
There's a peace in the land
That's much more than it seems
It feels of God's hand
Much more than our dreams.
As troubles come rumbling
And anger walks about,
As peace seems crumbling
Beneath the scream and the shout,
Yet a peace walks about
In the shadow of the cross
And comforts those who doubt
And share only in their loss.
Chorus:
Jesus, Jesus, gift of love
Who wipes away anger, sorrow and fear
Your love from heaven, and the Father above
Fills every heart, with You so near.
Jesus, Jesus, gift of love
Knowing our prayers you promise to hear
Hear now our thanks to heaven above
That such great love comes near.
It comes from the Christ child
The babe who arrives
From the depths of God's love
To transform our lives.
Listen, don't be beguiled,
Feel Him come near,
Know the love of the Christ Child
That wipes away fear.
Count every pain
No matter how unfair
As a new Godly gain
For our Father is there.
Chorus:
Jesus, Jesus, gift of love
Who wipes away anger, sorrow and fear
Your love from heaven, and the Father above
Fills every heart, with You so near.
Jesus, Jesus, gift of love
Knowing our prayers you hear
Hear now our thanks to heaven above
That such great love comes near.
