IN THIS HIS LOVE

In this His love for us
How can one live in such majesty
How can one receive such grace
How can one give to others
Of this His love for us
I look at my hands
I see my sin and shame
I look at the cross
I see His love and mercy
Oh how can this be
His love for you
His love for me
There are times all I can feel
Is the shame clinging to me
Like a second skin
Then there He is
In His love for me
Reminding me of
The truth that He has redeemed me
That He has cleansed me
That He knows me
In this His love for me
In this His love of me
How can one live in such majesty
How can one receive such grace
How can one give to others
Of this His love for us
For He first loved me
For He sent His only Son to die
For He justified me
For In Christ Jesus He reconciled me to Himself
That I might show His love
That I might give freely of
The very love He has for us
Of the very love He has for me
