- Verse 1
- Wonderful love that rescued me,
- Sunk deep in sin,
- Guilty and vile as I could be—
- No hope within;
- When every ray of light had fled,
- O glorious day!
- Raising my soul from out the dead,
- Love found a way.
- Chorus
- Love found a way, to redeem my soul,
- Love found a way, that could make me whole.
- Love sent my Lord to the cross of shame,
- Love found a way, O praise His holy Name!
- Verse 2
- Love brought my Savior here to die
- On Calvary,
- For such a sinful wretch as I,
- How can it be?
- Love bridged the gulf ’twixt me and Heav’n,
- Taught me to pray,
- I am redeemed, set free, forgiv’n,
- Love found a way.
- Verse 3
- Love opened wide the gates of light
- To Heav’n’s domain,
- Where in eternal pow’r and might
- Jesus shall reign.
- Love lifted me from depths of woe
- To endless day,
- There was no help in earth below;
- Love found a way.

Thanks for posting Avis Christiansen's gospel song about the cross. You can read a bit of the story behind it on my hymn blog today, Wordwise Hymns.
And if you’ll excuse a brief “commercial:” With the arrival of fall, we begin to think of the Christmas season up ahead. If you do not have a good book on the subject of our Christmas carols, I encourage you to take a look at mine, Discovering the Songs of Christmas. In it, I discuss the history and meaning of 63 carols and Christmas hymns. The book is available through Amazon, or directly from Jebaire Publishing. (Might make a great gift too!)
