And Can it Be?

And can it be that I should gain
An interest in the Savior’s blood?
Died He for me, who caused His pain—
For me, who Him to death pursued?
Amazing love! How can it be,
That Thou, my God, shouldst die for me?

How can it be? His love, His grace, His mercy . . . unfathomable. Too much. Excessive. Extravagant. Undeserved. Perfect.

I can't help but run to Him, rejoicing in my risen Lord! Will you run with me?
