How great a God would come to earth,   How great his word, a living hope
          know sorrow, weakness, pain   of heaven’s joy to come;
          to live the perfect life for me   for with the angels I shall bow
          then die to bear my shame?   in worship of God’s son:
          How great a God could break the cords   All glory to our risen King;
          that bound me tight in sin   the Lamb upon his throne!
          then rise to reign eternally   At last I see him face to face
          so I might live through him?   and hear him cry, “My own!”

          How great his love - to bring me back   administered by Jubilate Hymns Ltd
          from all the wrongs I’ve done -
          his victory, complete in me,
          my rebel heart now won.

          How great his strength to keep me safe
          when I forget he’s there,
          so faithful when I stray from him
          and place my trust elsewhere.
          How great his heart, so full of grace
          to share himself with me
          and pour upon my thirsty soul
          his mercy deep and free.
