When I Begin To See

When I begin to glimpse the love

That gave His life at Calvary

And paid sin’s debt for you and me

(and oh, how awful that debt was)

…when I begin to contemplate

Who Jesus IS, who He became

To save us from our guilt and shame

(and oh, that guilt and shame is great)

When I begin to realize

Where we would be without His grace

No hope for sinful human race

(and oh, no heaven when man dies)

…then all that I can do is bow

And wonder how such love could be

He gave His life for you and me

(then oh, what love we should live now)
