Author: Timothy Dudley-Smith, b. 1926 Hymnal: Christian Worship (2008) #749 (2008) Meter: 8.6.8.6 D Lyrics: 1 The love of Christ, who died for me
Is more than mind can know,
His mercy measureless and free
To meet the debt I owe.
He came my sinful cause to plead,
He laid his glories by,
For me a homeless life to lead,
A shameful death to die.
2 My sins I only see in part,
My self-regarding ways;
The secret places of my heart
Lie bare before his gaze.
For me the price of sin he paid;
My sins beyond recall
Are all alike on Jesus laid,
he died to bear them all.
3 O living Lord of life, for whom
The heavens held their breath,
To see, triumphant from the tomb,
A love that conquers death,
Possess my heart that it may be
Your kingdom without end,
O Christ who died for love of me
And lives to be my friend. Topics: Redeemer Languages: English Tune Title: RESIGNATION
