Amazing Love

by Mike Hall

How is it that the blind could see

That the lame could walk
That the deaf could hear
And the mute talk

How is it that the sea obeyed

And that the nets were filled
How could the prophets know
That The Son was destined to be killed

How is it that the wise men came

To praise the newborn King
How on earth were shepherds picked
To hear the angels sing

How is it that King David

Could write about the cross
Knowing that Messiah's sacrifice
Would signal Satan's loss

How is it that the leper

Could see his hands made clean
How could it have happened
And what could it mean

How could His chosen people

Turn upon The Son
And let a ruthless killer free
As they scourged The Holy One

How did the water turn to wine

And how was the stone rolled away
How could He speak so assuredly
Of how He'd rise that day

How is it that the veil was torn

And that a virgin bore a Son
How amazing that He'd die for us
So our victory could be won
How is it that Lazarus rose
And that He walked upon the sea
How could He forgive the tormentors
As He hung upon the tree

How is it that Bethlehem was chosen

That His birthplace was foretold
That John The Baptist spoke of Him
In words so sharp and bold

How is it that His disciples fled

On that fateful night
Only to die a martyr's death
Convinced that He was right

How is it that we go on living

As if His words weren't true
How amazing that He still awaits
Sinners like me and you
