Verse 1

Oh the wonder of wonders
That God should love me
A sinner so guilty,
So vile and unclean
To love the unlovely,
How can it be done?
‘Tis only in Jesus,
In His Blessed Son.

Verse 2

Long before I ever knew Him,
My Lord first knew me.
Before I ever sought Him,
My Lord first sought me.
When I was in darkness,
His sworn enemy
He purchased my pardon
On Calvary’s tree.

Chorus

His love is a mountain
That I cannot scale,
As wide as an ocean
That I cannot sail!
I’ll never lay hold of,
My mind fully see
This love that in mercy
First laid hold of me.

Verse 3

Not that I first did choose Him,
For that could not be
Still this heart would refuse Him
Had He left it to me!
I’d still fight the battle
That no man can win,
I’d still bar the heart’s door
That letteth Him in.

Chorus

His love is a mountain
That I cannot scale,
As wide as an ocean
That I cannot sail!
I’ll never lay hold of,
My mind fully see
This love that in mercy
First laid hold of me.

His love is a mountain
That I cannot scale,
As wide as an ocean
That I cannot sail!
I’ll never lay hold of,
My mind fully see
This love that in mercy
First laid hold of me.
