About this Hymn
This selection was part of a song cycle we wrote inspired by John 1. Wherever you are on the journey of faith, we recommend reading through John 1—its beauty and wonder help all of us begin to comprehend the mystery of the Christian faith, that "from his fullness we have all received, grace upon grace."
Lyrics
Verse 1
Fullness of grace in man's human frailty; this is the wonder of Jesus. Laying aside his power and glory, humbly he entered our world. Chose the path of meanest worth; scandal of a virgin birth. Born in a stable, cold and rejected: here lies the hope of the world.
Verse 2
Fullness of grace, the love of the Father shown in the face of Jesus. Stooping to bear the weight of humanity, walking the Calvary road. Christ the holy innocent took our sin and punishment. Fullness of God, despised and rejected: crushed for the sins of the world.
Verse 3
Fullness of hope in Christ we had longed for, promise of God in Jesus. Through his obedience we are forgiven, op'ning the floodgates of heav'n. All our hopes and dreams we bring gladly as an offering. Fullness of life and joy unspeakable: God's gift in love to the world.
