What Wondrous Love
Most of this week, I’ve found myself singing “What Wondrous Love is This.” I’ve pretty much known three of the verses but yesterday, I wanted to confirm some of the lyrics. In the process of doing so, I found a second verse which I’d never heard before.
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.
Christ laid aside His crown for my soul. Think about that for a minute. That is exactly what happened. It goes along with Dottie Rambo’s song: “He left the splendor of Heaven, knowing His destiny was the lonely hill called Golgotha, there to lay down His life for me!”
I stand amazed in the presence of Jesus the Nazarene
And wonder how He could love me, a sinner condemned, unclean!
I don’t know why Jesus loved me but I’m so glad He did … and still does!
