Once I was dead in sin,
And hope within me died;
But now I’m dead to sin,
With Christ I’m crucified.
And hope within me died;
But now I’m dead to sin,
With Christ I’m crucified.
And can it be that “He loved me,
And gave Himself for me“?
And gave Himself for me“?

O height I cannot reach!
O depth I cannot sound!
O love, O boundless love,
In my Redeemer found!
O depth I cannot sound!
O love, O boundless love,
In my Redeemer found!
3
I live—and yet not I,
But Christ that lives in me,
Who from the law of sin
And death has made me free.
But Christ that lives in me,
Who from the law of sin
And death has made me free.

The chorus of this hymn came to me this morning... what a wonder that the Word is stored in our hearts (decades ago) and surfaces at the most opportune times... lending comfort, grace, hope... so much! Verse 2 says: O height I cannot reach, O depth I cannot sound, O love, O boundless love, In my Redeemer found! This "simple" hymn unloads all the stress, guilt, fear, doubt... and fills with joy, thanksgiving and praise... and rest in Him Who fills all in all.
