A Sinner Such As I...

I'm "stuck" on this verse this morning!!!!!!!!  Too overwhelmed to go on....

John 1:12

But as many as received Him, to them gave He power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on His name!

Power to become the Sons of God!  Even me!!! This song says it all, and is filling my soul....and bursting forth with praise!


That God should love a sinner such as I,
Should yearn to change my sorrow into bliss,
Nor rest till He had planned to bring me nigh,
How wonderful is love like this!


That Christ should join so freely in the plan,
Although it meant His death on Calvary,
Was ever nobler theme sung by the tongue of man
Than love divine that ransomed me?


That for a willful outcast such as I,
The Father planned, the Savior bled and died;
Redemption for a worthless slave to buy,
Who long had law and grace defied.



And now He takes me to His heart—a son,
He asks me not to fill a servant's place;
The "Far-off country" wand'rings all are done,
Wide open are His arms of grace!


CHORUS:
Such love, such wondrous love,
Such love, such wondrous love,
That God should love a sinner such as I,
How wonderful is love like this!
Basking in the Son!!!!!!!!!
It's Him!!!!!!!!
I am redeemed!!!!!!!!!!!
