"Marvel not that I said unto thee, Ye must be born again.... For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in Him should not perish, but have everlasting life. For God sent not His Son into the world to condemn the world, but that the world through Him might be saved" (John 3:7,16,17).
We marvel not that Jesus said
We must be born again,
For in our sins we once were dead
And severed from Him then.
We marvel rather at the love
That found our remedy:
To send our Savior from above
To die for you and me!
We marvel also at the One
That came from heaven's throne
When God sent His beloved Son
To make His mercy known!
We marvel at what Mercy planned,
Considering the cost,
And ponder then the distance spanned
That He might save the lost!
We marvel that He paid the price
That new life might begin,
And so became our Sacrifice
To take away our sin!
O Lord, we've really just begun
To marvel and explore
The great things by Your mercy done;
We search its endless store!
