OH THE LOVE OF GOD WHICH GAVE US
BY GLENN PEASE

I
OH THE LOVE OF GOD WHICH GAVE US
JESUS CHRIST HIS ONLY SON,
IS THE LOVE THAT NOW CAN SAVE US
AND GIVE LIFE THATS NEVER DONE.

HE DECENDED DOWN FROM HEAVEN
TO LIVE LIFE WITH US ON EARTH,
NOT A CHILD OF FIVE OR SEVEN
HE CAME INTO TIME BY BIRTH.

CHORUS:
OH SUCH LOVE ALL LOVE EXCELLING
COMING DOWN AND WITH US DWELLING,
MAKES A STORY WELL WORTH TELLING
WITH VOICES AND MUSIC SWELLING.
II
O THE LOVE OF GOD WHICH SENT HIM
FROM HIS THRONE INTO EARTH'S TIME,
CAUSED THE ANGELS TO SING A HYMN
WITH HEARTS FILLED WITH SONG AND RHYME.

SHEPHERDS IN THE FIELD COULD HEAR IT
AND THEIR HEARTS WERE THEN FILLED TOO,
THEY HAD CAUGHT THE CHRISTMAS SPIRIT
AND OFF TO SEE CHRIST THEY FLEW.

CHORUS:

III
WISE MEN WATCHING HEAVEN FROM FAR
EXPECTING SIGNS TO APPEAR,
SAW THE LIGHT FROM BETHLEHEM'S STAR
AND KNEW HEAVEN HAD COME NEAR.

THEY TRAVELED LONG BY DAY AND NIGHT
THROUGH THE FALL, WINTER AND SPRING,
EVER FOLLOWING THE STARS LIGHT
TO GIVE GIFTS TO HIM THEIR KING.

LET US JOIN THEM IN THE JOURNEY
TO THE ONE THAT THEY ADORED.
HE'S NO LONGER JUST A BABY
BUT OUR EVER LIVING LORD.

HE'S THE SAVIOUR OF ALL SINNERS
HE'S THE ONLY WAY TO GOD.
THOSE WHO RECEIVE HIM ARE WINNERS
ON THE PATH ALL WISE MEN TROD.

CHORUS:
