How could God love against the grain, to offer love we don't deserve;
to meet us when we lose our way,
to hold us when we twist, or swerve?
This gracious, fulsome, steadfast love
is more than we can comprehend,
it offers hope when all seems lost,
resists, survives beyond life's end.
Verses 3-4 follow
