Greatly Loved

We all once lived in the passions of our flesh

We were the sons of disobedience

Factories of sin ever new and ever fresh

Blind to the consequence of expedience

The body  and mind ruled our desires

We were by nature, children of wrath

All of mankind are ruled by unholy fires

Contemptuous of the righteous path

Bridge 

But God, being rich in mercy said

“I love you with an everlasting love”

He loved us even when our spirits were dead

A love the world has no knowledge of

Chorus 

You are greatly loved you are greatly loved

 pleas for mercy are heard from heaven above

Rise Up right now, stand and understand

Be strong and have good courage, o man

Fear not and peace be with you 

His love is faithful his love is true

Even in our trespasses, even in our sin

Together with Christ  God made us alive

It is by  grace alone as it has ever been

Not by works by which one may strive

You are greatly loved you are greatly loved

Pleas for mercy are heard from heaven above

Rise Up right now, stand and understand

Be strong and have good courage, o man

Fear not and peace be with you 

Christ’s love is faithful his love is true

Daniel  9:23; and 10:11,19

Ephesians 2:3-6
