Here is Love

{ci: Instrumental intro}

{c: Verse 1}
Here is [G]love, vast as the o[C]cean,
Loving[G]kindness as the [D]flood,
When the [G]Prince of Life, our [C]Ransom,
Shed for [G]us His [D]precious [G]blood.
{soc}
Who His [G]love will not [D]remember?
Who can [D]cease to sing His [G]praise?
He can [Em]never be for[C]gotten,
Throughout [G]Heav'n's [D]eternal [G]days.
{eoc}

{c: Verse 2}
On the [G]mount of crucifi[C]xion,
Fountains [G]opened deep and [D]wide;
Through the [G]floodgates of God's [C]mercy
Flowed a [G]vast and [D]gracious [G]tide.
{soc}
Grace and [G]love, like mighty [D]rivers,
Poured in[D]cessant from a[G]bove,
And Heav'n's [Em]peace and perfect [C]justice
Kissed a [G]guilty [D]world in [G]love.
{eoc}

{ci: Instrumental interlude}

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

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

{c: Verse 5}
Here is [G]love, vast as the [C]heavens;
Countless [G]as the stars a[D]bove
Are the [G]souls that He has [C]ransomed,
Precious [G]daughters, [D]treasured [G]sons.
{soc}
We are [G]called to feast for[D]ever
On a [D]love beyond our [G]time;
Glorious [Em]Father, Son, and [C]Spirit
Now with [G]man are [D]inter[G]twined.
{eoc}
