Verse 1
It was matchless love that found me, When the bands of sin had bound me, It was love that planned escape for me When I was lost, undone; It was love in sad plight, saw me, It was love that reached out for me, 'Twas the precious love of Jesus Christ The mighty, holy One.
Verse 2
What a tender lovingkindness, That sought me in my blindness, And a marvelous redemption wro't That mortals might be free! What an act in its completeness! What a love in tender sweetness! What a wonderful salvation now Abounds for you and me.
Verse 3
What a wonderful relation That I, in lowly station, Am called a "son unto God," what more Could human heart desire? By His tender love o'er-shaded, I'll be kept till earth has faded From my sight, and I shall enter in To join the heav'nly choir.
Chorus
('Twas love,) 'Twas matchless love, ('Twas matchess love, That caused) Love, 'twas love, (my Savior there,) matchless love, Upon the cruel cross to choose A death of shame for even me; (death of shame for even me; How can) Love, 'twas love, (I e'er repay) matchless love, (The debt) Love, 'twas love, (of love I owe,) love I owe, For His salvation full and free, Giv'n thru love, (wonderful love, matchless love?) love, matchless love?
