Here Is Love

         G                C
Here is love, vast as the ocean,
       G               D
Loving-kindness as the flood,
         G                   C
When the Prince of Life, our Ransom,
         G       D        G
Shed for us  His precious blood.
        G             D
Who His love will not remember?
         D7               G
Who can cease to sing His praise?
       Em           C
He can never be for-gotten,
           G          D      G
Throughout Heav'n's  eternal days.

[Verse 2]
       G             C
On the mount of crucifixion,
          G               D
Fountains opened deep and wide;
            G                   C
Through the floodgates of God's mercy
         G        D        G
Flowed a vast and gracious tide.
        G                D
Grace and love, like mighty rivers,
         D7            G
Poured incessant from above,
         Em                C
Heaven's peace and perfect justice
         G      D        G
Kissed a guilty world in love.

[Verse 3]
        G                   C
Here is love that conquered evil:
            G                  D
Christ, the firstborn from the grave;
          G                  C
Death has failed to be found equal
       G       D       G
To the life of Him Who saves.
       G             D
In the valley of our darkness
           D7          G
Dawned His everlasting light;
        Em           C
Perfect love in glorious radiance
      G              D       G
Has repelled death’s hellish night.

[Verse 4]
          G               C
That same love beyond all measure,
           G                D
Mocked and slain by hateful men,
          G             C
Lives and reigns in resurrection
        G     D    G
And can never die again.
        G                D
Here is love for all the ages,
        D7               G
Radiant Sun of Heav’n He stands,
        Em                C
Calling home His Father’s children,
        G         D       G
Holding forth His wounded hands.

[Verse 5]
        G                 C
Here is love, vast as the heavens;
          G             D
Countless as the stars above
        G                 C
Are the souls that He has ransomed,
         G          D         G
Precious daughters, treasured sons.
       G               D
We are called to feast forever
     D7              G
On a love beyond our time;
         Em               C
Glorious Father, Son, and Spirit
         G       D    G
Now with man are intertwined.
