Fully God and fully man
No human mind could comprehend
The fullness of obedience
To the point of death
When it made no sense
How marvelous
This mystery
My King would give His life for me
With open arms
Upon the cross
You paid it all
At the highest cost
You gave Your life
To save my soul
Oh Jesus, You're the greatest love I've ever known
Holiness in human frame
His hands were nailed to a tree He made
His dignity was stripped away
When He wore my guilt and He bore my shame
How marvelous
This mystery
My King would give His life for me
With open arms
Upon the cross
You paid it all
At the highest cost
You gave Your life
To save my soul
Oh Jesus, You're the greatest love I've ever known
At the cross, at the cross
Where I first saw the light
Abd the burden of my heart rolled away
It was there by faith
I received my sight
And now my sins are washed away
My sins are washed away
I'm happy all the day, yeah
With open arms
Upon the cross
You paid it all
At the highest cost
You gave Your life
To save my soul
Oh Jesus, You're the greatest love I've ever known
With open arms
Upon the cross
You paid it all
Even at the highest cost
You gave Your life
To save my soul
Oh Jesus, You're the greatest love I've ever known
I've ever known
The greatest love I've ever known
