By This We Know Love

By this we know love, because He laid down His life for us.

-1 John 3:16-

By This We Know Love from Sovereign Grace Ministries.

God of all Creation, Lord of heaven's light

Descended into evil's darkest night

Infinitely Holy, Your perfections know no end

Selflessly You died my rightful death

By this we know love that He laid down his life

God's very own Son came from Heaven to die

Suspended He hung as He shed His own blood

What grace in His pardon, by this know love

Forsaken man of sorrows, hated by all men

You willingly surrendered for my sin

Scornfully derided, yet in silence stumbling on

Bearing wrath for all that I've done wrong
