What love is this That from eternity, Before I had done right or wrong, Had made its choice of me? What love is this that chooses me– A corpse, long dead in sin– To be revived by sovereign grace To live and reign with him? What love is this that moved my Lord To die on my behalf, To take on flesh, to taste of death For me, a child of wrath? What love is this that has supplied All that the Law demands, That shows the riches of his grace To one with empty hands? What love is this that ends my boast And turns my gains to loss? Were it not for his gift of faith, I too would hate the cross. What love is this that frees my will From bondage to my sin So that his very choice of me Decrees my choice of him? What love is this that gives me sight To find the narrow gate, While countless more in blindness pass Unto a dreadful fate? What love is this that takes the whore Who pierced his hands and side And washing her with water pure Makes her his spotless bride? What love is this that sets a feast Of costly bread and wine, Then bids the poorest of the earth To at his table dine? What love is this? The love of God Displayed at Calvary. O, cause my heart to love you, Lord, As you have first loved me. - Eric Schumacher [...] [...] by Everyday Mommy on June 27, 2010 What love is this?

What love is this that has supplied
All that the Law demands,
That shows the riches of his grace
To one with empty hands?
WELL SAID

What love is this that ends my boast
And turns my gains to loss?
Were it not for his gift of faith,
I too would hate the cross. SO TRUE

What love is this that frees my will
From bondage to my sin
So that his very choice of me
Decrees my choice of him? TRUE FREEDOM HE GRANTS

What love is this that gives me sight
To find the narrow gate, AND A DESIRE TO WALK IT…
While countless more in blindness pass
Unto a dreadful fate? COULD BE US…
