Text:
God loved us, so he sent his Son,
Christ Jesus, the atoning One,
To show us by the path he trod
The one and only way to God.

He came as man, though Son of God,
And bowed himself beneath the rod.
He died in holy innocence,
A broken law to recompense.

In word and deed he doth require
My will to his, like son to sire,
Be made to bend, and I, as son,
Learn conduct from the Holy One.

Oh, love effulgent, love divine!
What debt of gratitude is mine,
That in his off’ring I have part
And hold a place within his heart.

[trevortomah]

An awesome resounding celestial Amen, a beautiful all encompassing blessed Shalom.

[pdhafb]

Outstanding. Thank you for sharing. The older I get, the more I feel His love, and I love Him even more.

[littlebigband]

That key change around 3:10 gave me chills.

I’d love to hear them sing ‘ye elders of Israel’
