Here Is Love

{title: 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}
Let me [G]all Thy love ac[C]cepting,
Love Thee, [G]ever all my [D]days;
Let me [G]seek Thy kingdom [C]only
And my [G]life be [D]to Thy [G]praise;
{soc}
Thou a[G]lone shalt be my [D]glory,
Nothing [D]in the world I [G]see.
Thou hast [Em]cleansed and sancti[C]fied me,
Thou Thy[G]self hast [D]set me [G]free.
{eoc}

{c: Verse 4}
In Thy [G]truth Thou dost direct [C]me
By Thy [G]Spirit through Thy [D]Word;
And Thy [G]grace my need is [C]meeting,
As I [G]trust in [D]Thee, my [G]Lord.
{soc}
Of Thy [G]fullness Thou art [D]pouring
Thy great [D]love and power on [G]me,
Without [Em]measure, full and [C]boundless,
Drawing [G]out my [D]heart to [G]Thee.
{eoc}

{c: Sovereign Grace updated lyrics verses}
Here is love that conquered evil:
Christ, the firstborn from the grave;
Death has failed to be found equal
To the life of Him Who saves.
In the valley of our darkness
Dawned His everlasting light;
Perfect love in glorious radiance
Has repelled death’s hellish night.

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

Here is love, vast as the heavens;
Countless as the stars above
Are the souls that He has ransomed,
Precious daughters, treasured sons.
We are called to feast forever on a love beyond our time;
Glorious Father, Son, and Spirit
Now with man are intertwined.
