This tender heart of God
Who stills the loudest storm
How can this Lord of Heaven
Be our Saviour until the end?
He promises peace to reign
In our hearts and life of sin
He knocked on the door at night
Saying won't you let me in?
This beauty we cannot behold
His grace so dazzling white
But His love shines forth
For everyone
Will he even look at me?
How can we grasp this sacrifical love
That laid itself down in blood
What gift is this
That loved us so
Fling wide the gates of heaven
Dear Lord how can we do the things you do
Our selfishness knows no bounds
Come Holy Spirit Teach us all
To die as you did for us all
Sweet Lord my heart just bursts with love
Your spirit soars far beyond our minds
You are the creator of everything
How can we ignore your call
Forgive us Lord for our self
Your self you gave to us
Our sins you did bear
The most ugliest of all
Nailed to you for all to see
Dear sweet Jesus
We receive your grace
So freely offered to us
Plant us where you would see us grow
For all eternity
