It's amazing when you see it; the greatest plan of all time
Throughout all of history God's had mercy on mankind
He didn't have to do it, we all deserved to die
For in our hearts a dark rebellion always seemed to lie
From the time they first sinned to the time He sent the flood
His plan had been and always was to wash us in the blood
He never left us hopeless though we never earned His grace
Yet due to love He sent His son and then He turned His face
Staring at this timeline shows endless moments when
He could have left us on our own, condemned by our own sin
I look at all the countless times He demonstrated love
And all I can do is sigh and cry when I see just what He's done
He took the weight of time and space and bore it on His shoulders
So you and I and all who sinned could enter Heavens boarders
Humanity in sin and shame was lost throughout the ages
Yet when He came He made us whole by paying our due wages
Consistently, overwhelmingly, and stunningly good
He has never left us on our own, and He never would
He made a way for us to join Him with His Father as His kin
His sacrifice was made so that humanity might win
His justice always standing firm, He had to pay the price
He did what no man could and bled so that we could have life
His greatness cannot be seen in all of its entirety
But I rejoice that I can stare at Him for all eternity
His goodness knows no earthly bounds, His mercies never end
His beauty astounds the minds and hearts of angels and of men
And when we gaze upon His face I can't deny its true
His unrelenting love it overwhelms me through and through
