There is a great mystery,
A wonderful story;
For ages ’twas hidden,
Now shown in His wisdom;
’Tis a divine romance
Of God and man in time;
Beyond understanding,
Yet seen in God’s speaking.

Of God and man in time;
Beyond understanding,
Yet seen in God’s speaking.
God fell in love with man;
For only God’s love can
Make man just the same as He
In life and in nature.
We are His expression,
His bride, His enlargement;
Forever, together,
As living, insep’rable as one couple
Eternally.

Though He was rejected
By men who were blinded;
His love is constraining,
His heart still unchanging;
Thus in incarnation
Came He as salvation;
His name is called Jesus,
And He came to seek us.

Though born as a sinner,
His blood has redeemed me.
He suffered on Calv’ry,
Then raised up in glory,
To regenerate me.
Now joined in one spirit
I love to enjoy Him,
For I’ve been forgiven!

His love is so tender,
To Him I’ll surrender;
His name is so precious,
I gladly call, “Jesus!”
His Person’s so charming,
My heart ever winning;
I’ll hold back no longer,
I’ll love Him forever.

What a Beautiful, beautiful song! God fell in love with man! To make man just the same as He! I'll consecrate my whole being to my Beloved Lord! He is so precious and so charming! I will love Him, and love Him and love Him!

This is a nice song, and much of it is truth. Some of it, however, borders on blasphemy. Jesus' love for us, though compared to a romantic love so humans can understand its depth, is not sensual, and it isn't appropriate to cast it in that kind of light. I will take artistic license in changing some of the words when I teach this song so it will be reverent rather than sappy.
