Oh, What A Love

(this song and this video will give you holy-hallelujah thrill-chills!)

The earth is the Lord’s and the fullness thereof

Oh what a comfort to know

Whatever happens, His mercy and love

Cradles both wonder and woe

No might or merchant can usurp the One

Who was, Who IS and will be

Heaven and earth rest in ‘His will be done’

Provident Power is He

No creature care is too big or too small

To entrust to love’s scarred Hand

Whether we flourish or whether we fall

He is the One in command

Nothing unseen or mistaken by He

Who has nothing left to prove

Though He is oft misunderstood while we

Lap from His wellspring of love

Circumstance and consequence may afflict

Heartache and hurt test and try

Where footsteps fall in the halls of a gift

The Giver reasons the Why

For, the earth is the Lord’s and the fullness thereof

All they who dwell therein

Comprise His uttermost language of love

Faithful Forgiver of sin

He is the Father who offered His Son

His Most Beloved, to be

The sacrifice for the wrongs we have done

His loss for our Victory

Though He is God since before Time began

He suffered Death, not in vain

We are the Reason His love had a plan

Where Heaven waits to explain
