Lyrics
Verse 1
Wonderful, merciful Savior, precious Redeemer and Friend; who would have thought that a Lamb could rescue the souls of men? Oh, you rescue the souls of men.
Chorus
You are the One that we praise, you are the One we adore. You give the healing and grace our hearts always hunger for; oh, our hearts always hunger for.
Verse 2
Counselor, Comforter, Keeper, Spirit we long to embrace; you offer hope when our hearts have hopelessly lost the way; oh, we've hopelessly lost the way.
Verse 3
Almighty, infinite Father, faithfully loving your own; here in our weakness you find us falling before your throne; oh, we're falling before your throne.
Wonderful, merciful Savior, precious Redeemer and Friend; who would have thought that a Lamb could rescue the souls of men? Oh, you rescue the souls of men.
Chorus

Almighty, infinite Father, faithfully loving your own; here in our weakness you find us falling before your throne; oh, we're falling before your throne.
