Such Awesome Love

He came to this earth as God and man John 3:16,17

  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!

John 3:16,17

Such awesome love Christ had for man,
to set aside his glory,
when he left his throne for the world he had made;
took the form of a helpless baby.
Entrusting his care and his earthly needs
to the hands that he had created,
he lived and dwelt among sinful man,
yet his love for us never faded.
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 Christ showed for man
to set aside his power.
He allowed himself to be nailed to the cross,
in obedience to his Father.
He suffered such degradation and pain
at the hands that he had created,
to bear our sin, and lay down his life,
yet his love and forgiveness await us.
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!

John 3:16,17 For God so loved the world that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved.
Romans 5:8 But Got commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners,  Christ died for us.
Matthew 26:53,54 Thinkest thou that I cannot now pray to my Father, and he shall presently give me more than twelve legions of angels? But how then shall the scriptures be fulfilled, that thus it must be?
Hebrews 5:8,9 Though he were a Son, yet learned he obedience by the things which he suffered; And being made perfect, he became the author of eternal salvation unto all them that obey him;

  1. 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.
