God's Greatest Gift Is Love

Upon this special speck in space, Where each of us has lived... The Lord bestowed His awesome grace, His Son, His greatest gift And from God's grace, salvation came, To set this world aright, As if with one eternal flame To set this world alight! God's royal pardon, set in stone, This world His solemn seal, The sun and moon saw Christ atone, They witnessed love so real... The stars surround this glorious globe To shine by day and night, Yet none more righteous than the robe Removed from Christ in spite! God's Spirit groaned upon that day, The day Lord Jesus bled... The day Christ took Man's sins away When holy blood was shed... To think, that we, with all our sins, Do not possess the might That Jesus Christ, God's precious prince, Presented in His fight! God's Son, what kind of Man was He, To suffer on His cross? He was the Man of Destiny And we know Him because God's love outshines each sinner's guilt, God's love transforms their plight, God's love forgives the ones who killed His Son without insight! Consider love, with hearts of gold, Your love just can't compare! The greatest story ever told Portrays the Father's prayer... That we, in Christ, forgive as well! That we, in Christ, shine bright! For there's a Heaven and a Hell And conscience as our guide... Denis Martindale, copyright, January 2012.
