I have come to love a good many things in my 31 years. I love my dear husband, my two sweet children, but one love is truly fathomless. The love of Christ is one that I am privildged to expierence, but find myself still in awe that he would choose to love this sinner. Here is one of my favourite songs, entitled “Fathomless Love”, that we sing at church:
Lord, what moved your heart to love lowly man
Before any star could herald your praise?
And why did you come, abasing yourself
Veiled in a robe of frail human clay?
Why would you, the pure, give your life for the vile
The innocent seeking the guilty
To be reconciled?
I can't comprehend this fathomless love
I'm gripped and amazed at what you have done
Why would the adored become the despised
To bear all the furious wrath that was mine...?
How awesome this mystery
Of your fathomless love... for me...
Why would you adopt and take as your own
Those who had crushed your one precious Son?
Why mercy and grace t'wards your enemies?
Your name they have cursed and your throne they have shunned
Oh, how could you choose to show kindness to these?
The ones who would mock you and hate you
The ones just like me?
