What Wondrous Love Is This
Based on the music Wondrous Love by William Walker: American Traditional
What wondrous love is this, O my soul, O my soul;
what wondrous love is this, O my soul.
What wondrous love is this, that caused the Lord of bliss
bear the dreadful curse for my soul, for my soul,
to bear the dreadful curse for my soul!
When I was sinking down, sinking down, sinking down,
when I was sinking down, sinking down.
When I was sinking down beneath God's righteous frown,
Christ laid aside his crown for my soul, for my soul,
Christ laid aside his crown for my soul.
To God and to the Lamb I will sing, I will sing;
to God and to the Lamb I will sing.
To God and to the Lamb who is the great I AM,
while millions join the theme, I will sing, I will sing,
while millions join the theme, I will sing.
And when from death I'm free, I'll sing on, I'll sing on;
and when from death I'm free, I'll sing on.
And when from death I'm free I'll sing and joyful be,
and through eternity I'll sing on, I'll sing on;
and through eternity I'll sing on.
Words: Anon, early American, 1867
Remember Your Love
By: Darryl Ducote, Gary Daigle, Mike Balhoff
Refrain: Remember your love and your faithfulness, O Lord. Remember your people and have mercy on us, Lord
The Lord is my light and my salvation; whom should I fear?
The Lord is my life and my refuge; when I call, He hears.
If you dwelt, O Lord, upon our sinfulness, then who could stand?
But with You there is mercy and forgiveness and a guiding hand.
O Lord, hear the sound of my call and answer me.
My heart cries out for Your presence; it is You I seek.
As sentinels wait upon the daylight, wait for the Lord.
I trust in your kindness and redemption; and your faithful word.
Before all the mountains were begotten and earth took shape,
Even then, O Lord, you were our refuge throughout ev’ry age.
