MATCHLESS LOVE-Samuel W. Beazley
Matchless Love
(or It Was Matchless Love that Found Me)
}
It was matchless love that found me,
When the bands of sin had bound me
It was love that planned escape for me
When I was lost, undone;
It was love in sad plight, saw me,
It was love that reached out for me,
'Twas the precious love of Jesus Christ
The mighty, holy One.
What a tender loving kindness,
That sought me in my blindness,
And a marvelous redemption wrought
That mortals might be free!
What an act in its completeness!
What a love in tender sweetness!
What a wonderful salvation now
Abounds for you and me!
What a wonderful relation
That I, in lowly station,
Am called a "son unto God." what more
Could human heart desire?
By His tender love o'ershaded,
I'll be kept till earth has faded
From my sight, and I shall enter in
To join the heav'nly choir.
Chorus 'Twas love 'twas matchless love,
That caused my Savior there
Upon the cruel cross to choose
A death of shame for me;
How can I e'er repay
The debt of love I owe.
For His salvation full and free,
Giv'n through love, love, matchless love?
