The Cyber Hymnal ‎#3684

3684. Love Found a Way

1. Wonderful love that rescued me,
sunk deep in sin,
Guilty and vile as I could be—
no hope within;
When every ray of light had fled,
O glorious day!
Raising my soul from out the dead,
love found a way.

Refrain
Love found a way, to redeem my soul,
Love found a way, that could make me whole.
Love sent my Lord to the cross of shame,
Love found a way, O praise His holy name!

2. Love brought my Savior here to die
on Calvary,
For such a sinful wretch as I,
how can it be?
Love bridged the gulf ’twixt me and Heav’n,
taught me to pray,
I am redeemed, set free, forgiv’n,
love found a way. [Refrain]

3. Love opened wide the gates of light
to Heav’n’s domain,
Where in eternal power and might
Jesus shall reign.
Love lifted me from depths of woe
to endless day,
There was no help in earth below;
love found a way. [Refrain]
