It's so hard to understand the love that Christ has for us; that He would leave the glories of heaven to come down and take on human flesh, to live among us, and then, knowing how wretched we are, He still chose to die for us. Such awesome love!

Such awesome love Christ had for man,
to set aside his glory,
when he left his throne for the world he had made;
when he left his throne for the world he had made;

Entrusting his care and his earthly needs
to the hands that he had created,

the glorious splendour of heaven,
to come to this earth as God and man,
to come to this earth as God and man,
to redeem his fallen creation.

at the hands that he had created,

Such awesome love that Christ would leave
the glorious splendour of heaven,
to come to this earth as God and man,

to redeem his fallen creation.
Such awesome love!

Now THAT's the kind of Christmas song worth listening to! None of this Frosty and Santa Clause, and Rocking Aroung The Christmas Tree - a song with real meaning. Do you sell this CD too? I would be interested in purchasing it to play at the Gospel Mission.
