[Verse 1]
There is an Feverlasting Ckindness
You Flavished on Cus
When the FRadiance of Cheaven Came to Frescue the Glost;
You called the Fsheep without a Cshepherd
To Fleave their disCtress
For your Fstreams of forCgiveness
And the Fshade of Your Crest.
[Verse 2]
And with comFpassion for the Churting,
You Freached out Your Chand
As the Flame ran to Cmeet You
And the Fdead breathed aGgain;
You saw beFhind the eyes of Csorrow
And Fshared in our Ctears,
Heard the Fsigh of the Cweary,
Let the Fchildren draw Cnear.
[Chorus]
What Gboundless love,
What Cfathomless Fgrace
You have Fshown us, O CGod of comCpasGsion!
Each Gday we live
An Coffering of Fpraise
As we Fshow to the Cworld Your comGpasCsion.
[Verse 3]
We stood beFneath the cross of CCalvary
And Fgazed on Your Cface
At the Fthorns of opCpression
And the Fwounds of disGgrace,
For surely FYou have borne our Csuffering
And Fcarried our Cgrief
As You Fpardoned the Cscoffer
And showed Fgrace to the Cthief.
[Verse 4]
How beautiFful the feet that Ccarry
This Fgospel of Cpeace
To the Ffields of inCjustice
And the Fvalleys of Gneed—
To be a Fvoice of hope and Chealing,
To Fanswer the Ccries
Of the Fhungry and Chelpless
With the Fmercy of CChrist.
