Love immeasurable, Love divine
Love unlocked this prison mine
Love who paid for all my crime
wrap my heart in Thine
I had built a life on shifting sand
Bounding down the brink, You grabbed my hand
Unaware was I my tragic state
Rescued how can I but celebrate
Love immeasurable, Love divine
Love unlocked this prison mine
Love who paid for all my crime
wrap my heart in Thine
Drowning in a well of dark despair
Dropped a rope and dragged me up for air
Purged my lungs of liquid, given voice
Bid this twisted tongue of mine rejoice
Love immeasurable, Love divine
Love unlocked this prison mine
Love who paid for all my crime
wrap my heart in Thine
Sleeping in a coffin set to die
Wakened by the Son and grateful I
Raised to life and love and faithfulness
Happy I to give you nothing less
Love immeasurable, Love divine
Love unlocked this prison mine
Love who paid for all my crime
wrap my heart in Thine

"People do not-- will not-- drift towards holiness.
Apart from grace-driven effort, people do not
gravitate towards
Godliness, prayer,
obedience to scripture, faith, and delight in the Lord.
Instead,
we drift towards compromise and call it tolerance
we drift towards disobedience and call it freedom
we drift towards superstition and call it faith
we cherish the indiscipline of lost self control and call it relaxation
we slouch towards prayerlessness and delude ourselves into thinking that we have escaped legalism.
We slide towards godlessness-- and convince ourselves that we have been liberated."
