Wonderful Story
Wonderful story of infinite grace!
Story of One crucified in my place,
Hanging forsaken between earth and sky,
Shamed and tormented and left there to die,
His kingly head bowed with the weight of my sin.
(Foul was I, Lord, without and within.)
Angels still carol the story through space,
Wonderful story of infinite grace!
Wonderful story of infinite love,
Wanting me there in heaven above;
Seeing me, blood-washed, as spotless as He,
Building a home for a sinner like me;
Oh, how it eases the pain I must bear,
Only to dream of that home waiting there,
Its windows aglow with the light from His face!
Wonderful story of love and of grace!

Ephesians 2:7 That in the ages to come he might shew the exceeding riches of his grace in his kindness toward us through Christ Jesus.
Ephesians 3:14-19 For this cause I bow my knees unto the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, Of whom the whole family in heaven and earth is named, That he would grant you, according to the riches of his glory, to be strengthened with might by his Spirit in the inner man; That Christ may dwell in your hearts by faith; that ye, being rooted and grounded in love, May be able to comprehend with all saints what is the breadth, and length, and depth, and height; And to know the love of Christ, which passeth knowledge, that ye might be filled with all the fulness of God.
