Wondrous Love ‎#113

113. He Loved Even Me

1 For me, for me the Savior came,
For me he died the death of shame;
He love me in my lost estate;
The love of Jesus, oh, how great.

Refrain:
He loved even me
He loved even me
He loved, and gave himself to die,
That I his child might be.

2 Oh, love divine, how wondrous free,
‘Twas love which brought him to the tree;
‘Twas love ope’d wide the gate of heave’n,
‘Tis love that speaks our sins forgiv’n. [Refrain]

3 Oh, love of Christ, how deep, how high!
My soul does on that love rely;
Oh, love, how strong, oh love, how pure,
Through love divine my life’s secure. [Refrain]

4 Come, sinner, come and kiss his feet,
Accept just now the message sweet;
Your wounded heart for healing bring,
Receive his touch and gladly sing. [Refrain]
