about
New music for a beautiful old hymn text which was written by Augustus Toplady and Anne Steele
lyrics
O LOVE INCOMPREHENSIBLE
Words: Toplady & Steele
O Love incomprehensible that made Thee bleed for me
The Judge of all has suffered death to set His prisoners free
What pain, what soul oppressing pain the Great Redeemer bore
While bloody sweat like drops of rain distilled from every pore
What kind of love can this be
That you could make a child of someone like me
Arraigned at Pilate’s shameful bar, unparalleled disgrace
See spotless innocence appear in guilt’s detested place
“‘Tis finished,” now aloud He cries, no more the Law requires
And now, amazing sacrifice! The Lord of life expires
(CHORUS)
On Thee alone my hope relies, beneath Thy cross I fall
My Lord, my life, my sacrifice, my Savior and my all
(CHORUS)
