Has ever there been a love like that? Since ‘ere our time began A love that reaches to earth’s great depths To claim the heart of man?
Has ever there been a love so true, Though scorned and ignored, and refused? Again and again it reaches its arms With all new compassion infused.
The vilest of sin, the deepest of scars Cannot its power deter; For the greater the need, the deeper it flows And the deeper it longs to restore.
Has ever there been a love like God’s, That transcends time and space, That hungers to meet the simplest of needs With a shower of enabling grace?
No, there never has been a love like His, And there never will be again; A love that forgives and cleanses and frees From the crippling bondage of sin.
No, there never need ever again be such love. No such need really cries to be filled. For the love of our God is eternal love, And ne’er can it ever be stilled!
So drink at God’s fountain, beloved, and yearn To be freed as His love is unfurled; For through it and by it He’ll change your life, And with it, He’ll change your world!
