126. GREAT GOD OF WONDERS
1. Great God of wonders! All Thy ways
Display the attributes divine;
But countless acts of pard’ning grace
Beyond Thine other wonders shine:
Who is a pard’ning God like Thee?
Or who has grace so rich and free?
2. In wonder lost, with trembling joy
We take the pardon of our God:
Pardon for crimes of deepest dye,
A pardon bought with Jesus blood.
Who is a pard’ning God like Thee?
Or who has grace so rich and free?
3. Pardon – from an offended God!
Pardon – for sins of deepest dye!
Pardon – bestowed through Jesus’ blood!
Pardon – that brings the rebel nigh!
Who is a pard’ning God like Thee?
Or who has grace so rich and free?
4. O may this strange, this matchless grace,
This God-like miracle of love,
Fill the wide earth with grateful praise,
As now it fills the choirs above!
Who is a pard’ning God like Thee?
Or who has grace so rich and free?
1. Admit that you are a sinner. "For all [humans] have sinned, and comes short of the glory of God....[and] the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord" (Romans 3:23)
2. Repent now. "Repent ye therefore, and be converted, that your sins may be blotted out ...[for] if we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness " (Acts 3:19, 1 John 1:9)
3. Believe that God loves you and Jesus died for you. "God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet Sinners, Christ died for us" (Romans 5:8)
4. Invite Jesus into your life through prayer of faith. Jesus says, "Behold, I stand at the door, and knock: if any man hear my voice, and open the door, I will come in to him, and will sup with him, and he with me" (Revelation 3:20)
