Love Beyond Measure

Before God created the foundations of the world, He looked ahead in time.

He saw the destruction that would arise through war, terrorism, and crime.

He watched painfully as He saw others living for pleasure; seeking after worldly gain, pride, and treasure.

The Angels sadly lowered their heads, knowing that someone must die.

For sin had separated mankind from God, the truth could not be denied.

It broke God's heart knowing what must be done;

The answer to sin's deadly grip was His only begotten Son.

With arms stretched wide open, the message of salvation spoken.

Was Christ's love beyond measure, for us He was chosen.

And so God formed the heavens and the earth; seeing that first resurrection morn,

He sent His Son to die, for this He was born.

Love beyond measure, I don't know why; yet this I know, because He loves me is why He died.

copyright April 2003
