Music by Harry Dixon Loes, words by Avis B. Christiansen
Wonderful love that rescued me,
Sunk deep in sin,
Guilty and vile as I could be--
No hope within;
When every ray of light had fled,
Oh, glorious day!
Raising my soul from out the dead,
Love found a way.
Love found a way to redeem my soul,
Love found a way that could make me whole;
Love sent my Lord to the cross of shame,
Love found a way, oh, praise His holy name!
Love brought my Savior here to die
On Calvary,
For such a sinful wretch as I--
How can it be?
Love bridged the gulf 'twixt me and heaven,
Taught me to pray;
I am redeemed, set free, forgiven--
Love found a way.
Love opened wide the gates of light
To heaven's domain,
Where in eternal power and might
Jesus shall reign;
Love lifted me from depths of woe
To endless day;
There was no help in earth below--
Love found a way.
