What Kind of God?

What Kind of God?

What kind of love would send my Lord
To suffer here for me –
To live with hunger, pain, and strife
Then go to Calvary?

What kind of grace would cause my Lord
To take my sin and shame –
To take my guilt and bear God’s wrath
As if He was to blame?

What kind of joy would move my Lord
To give Himself to die –
Lay down His life to pay a debt
That I would multiply?

What kind of strength would raise my Lord
To live forevermore
Triumphant over sin and death
And open heaven’s door?

What kind of peace would give my Lord
The keys of life that save
So He can pardon and transform
Because His life He gave?

What kind of God is Christ my Lord
Who died and rose for me?
I love Him now, I’ll love Him more
Through all eternity!
