| Only God, only God would conceive a plan So beyond the scope of man To send his Son to make amends For sin, a message of love He sends Only God, only God who is so pure Would become sin, humanity’s cure Death on a cross, a sight so grim Our righteousness, now, only in Him Only God, only God who lives in heaven’s home Would go to hell so that we might roam With all the saints in light In heaven’s mansion, a glorious sight Only God, only God who is so wealthy Would become poor, that we might be healthy No place to lay his head Born in a manger and not in a bed Only God, only God who is eternal life Would experience death to pay for our strife His death brings life to all Who respond to Him and the gospel call Today, today if you hear his voice Open your heart and make the choice To live for Him and Him alone Who conquered death and sits on a throne Obedient to the Father, a love so great He yielded to God and accepted His fate Salvation to a world, a world that was lost And knew what it would take by counting the cost For God so loved the world Amen |
