I haven't shared one of my hymns in a while, so I thought I'd do that today. I haven't written anything in a long time, but an idea was swirling around in my brain last night as I was drifting off to sleep. Stay tuned to see if it finds its way onto paper and into blogdom.
A God Like No Other
Meter: Common Meter (8.6.8.6.)
Tune: Martyrdom (Alas! And Did My Savior Bleed)
Was there ever a God like this
Who left His heav’nly throne?
Abandoned riches, joy, and bliss
To make the earth His home.
Was there ever a babe like Him
Who chose His mother’s womb?
Who knew the cup He came to drink,
By violence, meet the tomb.
Was there ever a man like Him,
Full mortal, divine Son?
The One in whom no guile was found,
Perfect, obedient one.
Was there ever a love so great?
He suffered and He bled.
The curse of God’s wrath for man’s sin
Heaped on His sinless head.
Was there ever a mighti’r power?
He burst forth from the grave.
Defied the foe, crushed sin and death
For those He came to save.
Was there ever a God whose grace
Could cover all my sin?
My works are filth, my love a fraud;
But His love took me in.
All glory, laud, and honor be
To Him! Exalted high!
There is no other God, but One,
And Him we magnify!
Soli Deo Gloria
