That you would leave your throne And make this world your home Forsaking majesty Embracing mundane And all of its shame
You walked our dusty streets Healing a world in need You looked into the eyes Of sinners like me Setting us free
What wondrous love is this What wondrous love is this That you would lay aside your glory for my soul What wondrous love is this What wondrous love is this That you would lay down your life for my soul
Enduring agony You bore the cross for me Betrayed by those you love You took all our blame Bearing our pain
They nailed your feet They nailed your hands You are the God Who understands You know rejection Loss and grief You loved a world That nailed you to a tree
