Scriptural Reference:
"`Even if Balak gave me his palace filled with silver and gold, I could
not do anything of my own accord, good or bad, to go beyond the command of
the LORD--and I must say only what the LORD says'?" Numbers 24:13
You became a man As part of a loving and perfect plan, you
died The earth turned to darkness, creation cried; You lived, You
arose from the grave, and the love You give to a man like me Is so hard
to comprehend
Chorus: And I still don't understand it, All the things that
You've been through And I still don't understand it, All the things
that You do And I still don't understand it, How You've taken me
above. And I still don't understand the things about Your love
With a broken heart (a broken heart), You came here to give me a
brand new start, You loved (You loved me), Forsaken by all, You still
remain a friend (You are my friend) The example You gave and the life
You lived leaves a man like me No room to ever pretend (I can't
pretend...)
Repeat Chorus
Your love, yeah, Your love, Your sweet love Your love
Yes You came into this life, Showed us how we were to live To
tell the world about Your precious Love And You gave up Your life,
saved the hopeless from their sins To take us to Your home above
Repeat Chorus
Oh, Your love Your love All about, all about the things, All
about Your love!
