Devotion for today: Greater love has no one than this: to lay down one's life for one's friends. John 15:13

What wondrous love is this?

To prepare for Holy Week, let us take a look at a beautiful hymn which reminds us of the gift Christ gave us on the cross, of His wondrous love and mercy, and of the need for us to always sing to the Lord!

What wondrous love is this, O my soul, O my soul!
What wondrous love is this, O my soul!
What wondrous love is this that caused the Lord of bliss
To bear the dreadful curse for my soul, for my soul,
To bear the dreadful curse for my soul.

When I was sinking down, sinking down, sinking down,
When I was sinking down, sinking down,
When I was sinking down beneath God’s righteous frown,
Christ laid aside His crown for my soul, for my soul,
Christ laid aside His crown for my soul.

To God and to the Lamb, I will sing, I will sing;
To God and to the Lamb, I will sing.
To God and to the Lamb Who is the great “I Am”;
While millions join the theme, I will sing, I will sing;
While millions join the theme, I will sing.

And when from death I’m free, I’ll sing on, I’ll sing on;
And when from death I’m free, I’ll sing on.
And when from death I’m free, I’ll sing and joyful be;
And through eternity, I’ll sing on, I’ll sign on;
And through eternity, I’ll sing on. Words: At­trib­ut­ed to Al­ex­an­der Means.
