Cords of a Man, Bands of Love

I was drawn to the world and its sin

I was seeking but empty within;

Then this man crossed my path

And instead of God’s wrath

He loved me and opened God’s heart!

Jesus loves me and waters my heart.

He drew me with cords of a man

With bands of love;

Christ’s coming His living

His dying

His rising far above

Descending... like a dove;

Reaching me

even me

With God’s love.

I was seeking the world and it’s things

I was wealthy and yet could not see

It was Christ I desired

Of the world I was tired

He loved me and came to my house!

Jesus loves me and saves all my house!

I was happy with friends

all my mates

With my music

wild parties and dates;

Yet when Christ came to call

I have gladly left all!

He loved me and He gave His all!

Jesus loves me

I answer His call!
