Lyrics
Verse 1
Magnificent, marvelous, matchless love;
too vast and astounding to tell.
Forever existing in worlds above,
now offered and given to all.
O fountain of beauty eternal;
the Father, the Spirit, the Son.
Sufficient and endlessly generous:
magnificent, marvelous, matchless love.
Verse 2
Creation is brimming with thankfulness,
the mountains, exultant they stand;
the seasons rejoice in your faithfulness,
all life is sustained by your hand.
You crown ev'ry meadow with color;
you paint ev'ry shade in the sky;
each day the dawn wakes as an encore of
magnificent, marvelous, matchless love.
Chorus
How great, how sure;
his love endures forevermore.
Magnificent, marvelous, matchless love.
Verse 3
What grace, that you entered our brokenness;
you came in the fullness of time.
How far we had fallen from righteousness,
but not from the mercies of Christ.
Your cross is our door to redemption;
your death is our fullness of life.
That day, how forgiveness flowed as a flood:
magnificent, marvelous, matchless love. Go to Chorus
Tag
United in your resurrection,
you lift us to infinite heights.
Could anything sever or take us from
magnificent, marvelous, matchless love. Go to Chorus
