1. There is a great mystery, A wonderful story; For ages 'twas hidden, Now shown in His wisdom; 'Tis a divine romance Of God and man in time; Beyond understanding, Yet seen in God's speaking. * God fell in love with man; For only God's love can Make man just the same as He In life and in nature. We are His expression, His bride, His enlargement; Forever, together, As living, insep'rable as one couple Eternally. 2. Though He was rejected By men who were blinded; His love is constraining, His heart still unchanging; Thus in incarnation Came He as salvation; His name is called Jesus, And He came to seek us. 3. Though born as a sinner, His blood has redeemed me. He suffered on Calv'ry, Then raised up in glory, To regenerate me. Now joined in one spirit I love to enjoy Him, For I've been forgiven! 4. His love is so tender, To Him I'll surrender; His name is so precious, I gladly call, "Jesus!" His Person's so charming, My heart ever winning; I'll hold back no longer, I'll love Him forever.
