Jesus left His home on high,
Oh, what love, what wondrous love!
And for sinners came to die, what love.
Bled and died on Calvary,
All because of you and me,
Oh, what love, what wonderful love.
It was love He had for me,
Caused by my blinded eyes to see,
Oh, what love, what wondrous love!
Happiness and joy I’ve found,
For I’m on much higher ground,
You can share along the way of love.
For my Savior made the way,
Leading to a brighter day,
Oh, what love, oh, yes, what wondrous love.
I can shout, and I can sing,
Make His praises gladly ring,
Oh, what love, what wondrous love!
Oh, what love, what wondrous love!
And for sinners came to die, what love.
Bled and died on Calvary,
All because of you and me,
Oh, what love, what wonderful love.
It was love He had for me,
Caused by my blinded eyes to see,
Oh, what love, what wondrous love!
Happiness and joy I’ve found,
For I’m on much higher ground,
You can share along the way of love.
For my Savior made the way,
Leading to a brighter day,
Oh, what love, oh, yes, what wondrous love.
I can shout, and I can sing,
Make His praises gladly ring,
Oh, what love, what wondrous love!
