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. by E. Marshall Evans
