T'was Not For Our Great Love To Thee

For God so loved the world, that he gave his only-begotten Son, that whosoever believes on him may not perish, but have life eternal. John 3:16

For I delivered to you, in the first place, what also I had received, that Christ died for our sins, according to the scriptures; and that he was buried; and that he was raised the third day, according to the scriptures; 1 Corinthians 15:3,4

  1. John 3:16, 1 John 4:10T'was not for our great love to Thee

    John 3:16, John 6:57That Thou didst send Thy Son;

    Romans 5:5, 1 John 4:9That spring of love, O God we see

    Titus 3:4, 1 John 4:11In Thee alone.

  2. John 6:38, John 13:1What love, Lord Jesus, brought Thee down

    Romans 2:4,5, Romans 5:10Our hardened hearts to win,

    Matthew 26:67, Mark 15:19To be despised and spit upon,

    1 Peter 2:24, Isaiah 53:12And bear our sin!

  3. Hebrews 9:28, Isaiah 53:6The sins of many Thou didst bear,

    Hebrews 9:28, Isaiah 45:22Of all who look to Thee,

    Matthew 27:45,46, Mark 15:34When God, Thy God, forsook Thee there,

    John 19:17, Matthew 27:45,46On Calv'ry's tree.

  4. John 19:30, Matthew 27:50"Tis finished!" loud triumphant cry

    Luke 23:46,46, Matthew 27:50Ere Thou didst yield Thy breath!

    Luke 23:45,46, Matthew 27:51The veil was rent, and God draws nigh

    Matthew 27:30,31, Romans 5:10To us, through death.

  5. Matthew 28:6, Mark 16:9That glorious resurrection morn

    Luke 24:36,37, Mark 16:14Bids doubts for ever cease;

    Acts 12:24, Matthew 28:19For far and wide the news is borne

    Colossians 1:20, Ephesians 2:17Of perfect peace.

  6. Colossians 1:20, Ephesians 2:17Yes, peace! since every claim is met,

    Colossians 1:20, Ephesians 1:7Lord Jesus, by Thy blood,

    Acts 2:24,25, Ephesians 2:14And Thou, our peace, art ris'n, and set

    Mark 16:19, Ephesians 1:20On high by God.

  7. John 1:14-16, Ephesians 2:8Thy grace, O Lord, alone revealed

    1 Timothy 1:14, Ephesians 3:8That wondrous heart of Thine;

    1 John 4:19, Ephesians 3:19We thank Thee, and ourselves we yield

    1 John 4:19, Ephesians 3:19To love divine.
