O Heights of Love and Breadth of Grace
by David Jansson
O heights of love and breadth of grace
    Revealed to me when seen your face,
For God so holy, white and pure
    And naught but justice can endure.
That he should bear to glance at me
    With burning eyes like radiant beams
Is mercy shown immeasurable;
    Forgiveness unimaginable.

O dark despair when I realize
    My soul is bared before his eyes!
Contrast to Him, my sinful lust
    Makes endless death a sentence just.
Yet greater joy cannot be found,
    Amazing grace how sweet the sound!
By Jesus� blood, the spotless lamb,
    His beloved child I now am!

In silence and in awe I stand
    When brought to light the rift He spanned.
Though oft I try and think I can,
    It is not spanned through works of man.
But Prince of Peace, the cross he braved
    To sacrifice so I�d be saved
Through faith alone and all will see
    To Him may all the glory be.
